Wheelset recommendations
Hey, i am building a cheap commuter bike. its an old peugeot that i found thrown out behind a dumpster in an alley. it needs new wheels and i was just looking for some cheap, decent wheels. i have been taking a look at the Vuelta zerolites and eighthinch amelias. i was wondering which ones you would recommend. i dont know much about either of them, but i was leaning towards the vueltas. thanks a lot.

Or if you're just looking for something cheap, search craigslist for a deal on a fixed gear wheelset. Can't really go wrong if you get a good true set for $50-75.

Vuelta hubs are **** man. You can strip the threads with your fingernail.
