I bought a set of Ritchey WCS wheels a while back and after replacing the front bearings, fitted them to a build that I never rode despite it ending up really nice (MacMahone the sword).
As it has never been ridden I've decided to dismantle it and sell, along with some other builds that don't get ridden.
Part if me wants to rebuild an sts I have with disc brakes and I'm wondering if these wheels are worth using for that/worthy?
The rear hub could do with a regrease but aside from that they are in fine fettle.
I also have a set of spinergy disc wheels, but they have yellow spokes and would not suit the build currently.
Should I:
A) leave the sts disc build alone and stick with v brakes?
B) sort out the wcs rear hub and use the wheels (this would result in some rebas with a 20 mm maxle being fitted to the sts)?
C) rebuild the spinergy wheels using black spokes (I have a full set of new ones from a non-disc wheel purchase, are they compatible and is this easy enough to do)?
D) use the spinergy wheels as is (with yellow spokes) and compensate in other areas for this splash of colour (I have some earlier disc only rebas in yellow that I have rebuilt, but were destined for an all yellow amp b5 project that has sat boxed for years)?
E) forget the sts disc build altogether, stick with vs, and sell the amp (I could do a non-disc build with some non-disc spinergy wheels with yellow spokes)
Whilst on the topic of disc brakes, I have a set of hope v2/v4 brakes and am looking at some m970 brakes. Which are better and why?
