Have almost all the bits to build my 12er ... except for the rear rim and spokes.

Does anyone have a rear wheel to loan or can recommend a shop that stocks 12er items - I have a DT Swiss hub, but need a rim, spokes and tyre preferably pink..

Should still have a Velocity Blunt 29er rim 32hole in white I ordered one a couple of weeks ago and he got two in I cant imagine there too popular so should still be there tell Bob Damien said he had one and you may get a little discount but maybe not.

Thanks to Paul for use of the 29er rear wheel - complete with a (somewhat worn* and slightly flat) tyre - it performed flawlessly!!!

If you could just pump it up to 34psi next time... Smiling

And thanks to Damien for the Plan B option!!! BTW, what did you pay for the Velocity Blunt rim?

Cheers
Nic

Note*: Paul kindly supplied a spare tyre too - but it was not needed.

About $60 or $70 I got it with a few other things and dont remember.
