Wheel Set for Fixie / Single Speed

granty1987

Hey,

Can anyone advise on a decent wheel set (to be used with a flip flop hub for a fixie / single speed bike) with caliper brakes?

Machined rim is what I'm looking at

Halo do some decent ready-built wheels, but I prefer to have the local shop build-up a wheel, usually Mavic OpenPro + hub (e.g., Halo Fix-G)

How about this - http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPWEIDP18/weinmann-dp18-on-fixed-free-miche-pr1mato-track-wheelset

The Miche fixed/free hub is fairly well regarded for the price. I just built a rear wheel with one last weekend so haven't any long term experience with it yet but so far it's spinning beautifully.

I got these and think they are excellent but I got them a helluva lot cheaper: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/miche/xpress-track-wheelset-ec029342

H Plus Son Archetype rims on Halo hubs. You can get On Track to do them for between 300 and 400. Solid wheels and look very nice on a steel frame.
