Title: Anyone know where I can buy these wheels in UK?
Post by: Edge Clean on June 15, 2016, 02:23:48 pm: I am looking for a UK based supplier of these type of wheels, anyone know of anyone? Only place I have been able to find them so far is in US, but got a feeling shipping, etc might not make it worthwhile buying from there and the Chinese want daft minimum order numbers in order to supply.

Any help appreciated thanks.

Joe,

I may have to go back to the drawing board if I can't source these wheels in UK, but yes I am going ahead with the product.

I have all the rest of the parts required to build my first 3 prototypes/demonstration models, so just to get them out there I may have to bite the bullet and purchase the wheels for these 3 from US, the wheels are reasonable priced, but the postage and any customs fees are the killer taking the cost per wheel up to around £60.

Thanks, I Couldn't see anything similar on their website, but I have emailed them to ask if they do or make wheels that size.

Thanks Rich for the link.

Are there any bike experts on here who would know how to convert these wheels to fit onto an axle as opposed to fitting them on to forks?

I did email this company enquiring if they did these wheels or anything similar, never heard back as yet.

It's shocking that UK businesses seem to fail to reply to email enquiries through their websites, I come across this a lot, yet the Chinese and Americans seem to reply almost instantly to email enquiries. I would rather buy British where possible but in this instance I think I may have to import.
