tensiles are like $250 to get here from the UK, i dont know of any us importers. well worth it if they are what they are claimed to be. if you ask me.

front wheel. for maximum efficiency- drilled DX-32 on a XT or hope disc hub.
for the bling bling- try-all, tioga dh, etc on chris king iso disc.

They are soooo worth every penny if you want to spend some money. Only gripe so far is the tolerances are sooo tight on the spline interface that it's a workout just to get the arms on. Once they're on though... they're not going anywhere.

www.tartybikes.co.uk (http://www.tartybikes.co.uk) ... they got em if you want em.

The new Echo and Zoo cranks look like a good deal if you're tight on the cash or want to use it for other parts. The only rims to use have pretty much been covered.. i'm running a drilled Rhyno lite on the front for now.. but it's time to go a bit wider. That's the only thinnish rim i'd suggest.
Hubs have pretty much been covered too.

Have fun building it..
