WTD 29+ wheels

So, i've ended up getting a rather nice 29+ frameset, but I don't have any wheels to meet the spec yet. Looking for:
- Must have: Non-boost 100x15/142x12, rims 30mm internal minimum, HG freehub 29er
- Nice to have: silver hubs and/or rims, just a nice to have to go with the bars and stem. Black or grey or similar is fine. Prefer stickers that can be removed! :grin:
Preferably not too expensive and not much currently on ebay. Yes, i've seen the Spank wheelset in the classifieds, which are ideal except the hubs a red and they would clash badly with the frame colour. I'm no wheel builder, so swapping hubs isn't going to happen (and wouldn't be cost-effective).
Thanks!

Hi I have a front wheel - Halo Vapour 35 rim laced to a Hope Pro4 hub (both black) that I’d be willing to let go for £100.

The hub is set up as boost but I think I have a non boost set of end caps I can provide so you’d just need to redish the wheel.

It's not for a speedball by any chance 🤣🤣.

I did ummm and aaaar about it myself but having three stooges is kind of funny but a bit beyond the pale. I did make a set of wheels up for it but they are both boost🤣🤣🤣🙀🤦🤦.

Silly bugger I am 😂😂.

You will have to post a photo of the finished bike, just to make me sad. First dibs if you don't like it 😂😂😂
Cheers

Yeah, they would be ideal and I checked them out, but it's a plum grape colour speedball, so it's just not going to go - esp with silver components...silly that it's aesthetics, but I want it to look right. Cheers!

Hi I have set of black Hope pro 4 hubs non boost on Halo Vapour 50 (45mm internal). I used to run them on my Surly Krampus with 3inch tyres.
I think rear needs new bearings but front is good. I could dig them out and sent you some pics. I will let them go cheap.

Thanks @Kuman - those sound decent, but I think 45mm is going to be a stretch for the 2.6 tyres i have/intend to use. Sorry, I'm being a bit goldilocks with colour and sizes here, somewhat narrowing my options!
