just wondering where you got your Syncros DS28 Wheelset from and how well do they ride ?

Ive been looking at them for a couple of weeks and not sure if i should get them.
Cheers

I got the wheelset from dirtworks, its a wheelcraft thing so it was all built and ready to roll. They are really quite nice, strong and loom bling. They aren't the lightest wheels around but for pretty cheap they are good value for money.

As for the bars, i know they are high and i am planning on dropping them. Im waiting till i get new forks for this as when i do I'll chop the steerer to size and be set.

It rides good for what i want it to do (muck around with the odd DH run).

how much did dirtworks charge you for the whole wheelset then with the Syncros's as the rim ?

The white rims adds alot of bling to the ride! !
