Mavic Fixie Wheelset

dceire

I'm building myself a fixie and am looking to get this Mavic wheelset but cannot seem to find it anywhere outside the states. Been quoted $140 to get it shipped to the UK :eek:

Any ideas as to where I might pick it up without having to pay double for P&P?

It just looks like a wheelset built by a shop, no?

It kinda does but it seems to be available from a few different locations. I was just wondering if they might be available this side of the pond.

Would grabbing a Mavic Open Pro wheelset with a Miche track hub be a similar and more cost effective way?

It could well be but I wouldn't be confident in building wheels myself. Any other flip-flop wheelsets that can be recommended without breaking the bank?

Planet-x maybe?

These look decent.
