I'm looking into purchasing a set of Navigate wheels from hackney cycles, I cant seem to find any reviews on either the wheels or the store and I'm a little apprehensive as I fear it might be a scam.

1.48kg front, 1.82kg rear - they're boat anchors. Don't bother.

if your bike is steel frame its good... but if your bike is aluminium or carbon alloy... dont think abt it
in singapore many kids want to make their bikes fast... navigate trispoke is their only cheap option which give them aero... but they are riding a steel frames... ive seen kids with aluminium frames like Leader 725 using Navigates... and it hurts my eyes ... so it all depends on what frame you are using

So putting crap wheels like these on a Big Block would be good, but not a Leader 725?
