Posted 1 year sorry it wasn’t directed at you specifically, it was directed at all the previous comments, I just happened to copy and paste your type as it was the most recent… Scribe were winning on price, and she can’t have anything deeper than a 35mm rim (British Cycling rules). I’m really tempted with a getting a new set of wheels for my daughter. Do I then need to factor in any import taxes?

With regards to hidden costs, I’m more than happy to be out right on this, but is the cost on the website excluding any import costs? For example, the Falcon Pro 55mm disc wheelset with DT Swiss 350 hub is £701 or £650 with a Bitex hub. Nice enough and a decent weight for the price. They weren’t aero just had that in their name for marketing reasons. I had a set of Hunt Aero Wide alloy wheels, actually was quite impressed with them. All under warranty, but was so much easier just to pop to the lbs hand the wheels over, be given a replacement set and get riding again.Īlso my lbs have done me a huge favour, I bought my wheels in March, a new wheelset was released in May, they’re letting me swap to the new wheels once they are in the UK in September. I’ve got a set of wheel that were over £2k, had for 3 months and back with manufacturer. Posted 1 year agoĬontinuity, I’ve thought about buying from LB, hidden costs and the UK warranty has always made me swing towards a UK retailer…. I have no experience of the others to be fair, but would (and will) buy Hunt again… Only problem is that the MTB wheels I could do with right now are out of stock until December! A victim of their own success no doubt. Even those who I know who have had bad experiences with Hunt products have all remarked about the quality of their customer service, and the fact they are super quick and efficient and keep spare parts in stock at all times. This is definitely a significant consideration for many. Probably have 4 sets of Hunts and their customer service has been excellent, quick/efficient/sensible(!) would buy from them again purely for that – but also like their wheels and the quality for the price. I’ve been really impressed, far quicker than any other sub £400 low-ish profile alloy wheels I’ve ridden, and tough as old boots to boot. Only alloy not carbon, but I’ve got some rim brake Hunt 4 season aero wheels on my road bike and they’ve been superb! I wanted something strong, stiff and durable for my 90kg+ weight and riding style, I’ve got something that is lighter than many competitors racier options and yet meets all my requirements and more. They didn’t when they first started for sure, but they certainly do now… I guess everyone has to start somewhere, but I know the Hunt Product Development manager (and the guy behind getting their wheels onto team Qhubeka/BMC in the pro Peloton) well and I know how hard he has worked raising the profile (pun intended) of the wheels above the “bought from a catalogue” status that they are or were blighted with for some time. I’m sure there was maybe a pinkbike thread for an article on one of their MTB wheelsets where Hunt replied with a lot of details regarding their designs and design decisions.
Afaik Hunt get the hubs built to their spec, so they are not just off the shelf and the same as anyone else can get from a catalogue.
