That's for ONE rim.
This is two complete wheels.
So double it, add the costs of hubs, spokes and pay someone to build them.

Unlikely there ever was a price. It looks OEM.

I would have bitten, but I still have quick release, not Thru-axle boost on my bikes (the axle dimensions are different).
I found this useful to explain the difference in the standards: bikeradar.com/features/mtb-axle-standards/ (edited)

Not a full webpage is it?

That's why I'm inferring that they work for planetx.

In their defense though, it is listed on the clearance page.

Thanks for sharing @Nichnich

well i ordered a set yesterday and they came today,
look nice enough and fitted my 12 speed sram cassette on the supplied shimano freehub and works spot on.

the only irk i have is that the ALEX stickers are not in the same position on both sides of the wheel..if like me you like to match your tyres logo up with the wheels logo you can on one side..the other side wont be.

great value for the money.

oh and there was one small mark on one of the stickers on the rear wheel thats all i could find. (edited)

yes

I get a different price, no title, no description, a generic image of a bike.

I doubt they are top quality wheels, but may be perfect for a winter build or commuter. Who knows.

are these 700c 12x100/142 TA ??

says 29 boost

I think they are rushing their web pages - the link from the email I got eventually gets here - but that's no help

planetx.co.uk/i/q…eed

Are these wheels any good

cosmetic damage FYI

Must be a huge batch with damage I'm a little confused but not the worst deal for a pair of wheels. They cost the same as a couple of brake pads my for 105 discs (edited)

What a pity these are not QR. I am after a QR 6bolt disc 11 speed sram for the commuter and cannot find anything sensible.... :/
