gi hubs are supposed to be abismal. i havent had any experience with them myself, but there have been lots of complaints about them.
my mates gots the gi rim and that seems o.k, however i think waza on here had the hub, and bent the axel within a week....personally id stay away from the hubs mate, but the rims seem o.k..... rage
GI rims are gash, bought them on a whim for my old hardtail. Both have now split at the weld and they are not eyleted so half the spokes are pulling out as well. Proper tripe.
my mate has the 48 spoke wheel set and its pretty good. The hub has been fine and the rim is a little buckled but nothing serious. And he's a pretty heavy rider.....proper strong build......go for the halo
the street rims seem to be fine, strongest wheel i've ever had in the 36h pattern but it was built well (a la my build) The sas are too heavy imo but halo hubs are pretty slick
I have no experience of either rims you mention, but the Sun MTX rims are mint. Not too heavy, and pretty strong. And they look way better than the SAS rims too. But they are disk only, so if you use a rim brake then they'll be no good for you.
are the gi street rims as strong as the trailpimps? if they are then get them cz my trailpimps lasted alot longer then my sas, but sas stil lasted a while, considering its the wheels i learnt to backflip on so they took a right hammering
If its a 26" your after you cant go wrong with a second hand hope hub on a mavic rim, it will last you forever. Dont get the atom lab hubs, biggest waste of money ive ever seen, they seem to be made out of cheese.
