Picked up my bike from Crucial BMX in Bristol and the new wheels have been built up and put on the bike. They look really nice and are so light and the hubs are amazing really zero drag and absolutely no sound at all which is weird.
I also fitted the Elevn 53mm Stem that I bought off of facebook as the S&M stem I bought was too long.
The frame is looking really dirty as I took the bike in to be worked on after doing gates on the Saturday and didn't have time to wash it.
The wheels are Onyx hubs with Box Focus 24x1.75 rims with black spokes, Crupi 24 tooth rear cog and Maxxis DTH 24x.1.75 tyres.
I also swapped out the Shimano bottom bracket that came with the frame for a Chris King bottom bracket that comes with a 5 year guarantee and the grease can be changed. I also bought a Sinz hollow pin stem and a shimano DXR left handed break lever to swap the right handed one that was on the bike,
I have left my old wheels with tyres and tubes so that I can use them for training on with the profile freewheel that I have at the moment although if I stick with the 37x16 gearing I will need to sell it and get a 16 tooth profile freewheel.
