NEED HELP!!!!

I got the NS Metropolis 2 and I'm building a new wheelset of Halo SAS Rims and profile hubs would that work and what size of spokes will i need for it

26inch Halo SAS rims 36H
Profile Mini hubs 36H so I know they'll fit but i don't know the spoke size
(my first dirtjump wheel build (don't judge) XD

Go on the halo website and it'll tell you the erd (effective rim diameter)
Go on the profile website and it'll tell you all the hub measurements
Enter the details in a couple of different online spoke length calculators (never just one because sometimes they're wrong)
It'll tell you what length you need
If it's a bmx profile hub it won't work because the metropolis is mtb spaced

Awww man I've got the NS Metropolis 2 2015 model if that makes any difference, I need a good hub and rim that's good for taking a beating at a skatepark (also I ride brakeless)

No sorry like he said if it's a box hub it won't work. I know some guys have made custom spacers to do it in the past but it's not easy.

Bulletproof option would be: hope pro2/halo spin doctor hubs in mavic ex729/sun MTX33

Thanks dude, I'll look into them and is the Halo SAS DJD BD Pro complete rear wheel any good for skateparks?

Halo wheels are generally heavy and not particularly strong. most mtb hubs are 32h but there's a pretty good choice of rims out there. That frame will feel a bit sluggish for park imo too, I bought a metropolis 2 complete and sold nearly all of it within 2 weeks for a more street/park bike, then swapped it for a bmx because it still didn't feel nice.

I have a Custom built bmx that's built like a tank but with the wheel sent i got on the NS they are too weak I have trued the rear wheel 3 times now but it keeps getting worse and the both wheels keep coming lose which is also very annoying XD. So I'm in need of a good single speed hub and a strong light rim for it

On my BMX I got Shadow Raptor hubs with Primo Balance Rims not needed trued once

What's the Halo Chaos Wheelsets like park and street wise?

If you can afford a custom wheel get a hope pro 2 as to a decent rim, the question for rims is do you want strong or light?

Posted: Jun 7, 2015 at 14:01 Quote
Best wheels are hope pro 2 hubs and mavic ex721 rims light and strong!

I had my old DMR Transition frame lying around after getting a Spark.
I got bored and since it's winter in AU (rainy) I decided to bring it back to life as a street/park bike for when it's muddy.
I can't ride street/dj/park anyway, so figured it was a good waste of money.
So far she seems pretty fun, but only finished up the build last night so haven't really tested her out.
She's a bit heavier than I was hoping but that frame is about 1/2 ton. I was hoping for a bit more bb rise, but the fork came with a bike I got for a mate (deal of the year on it too!) so figured I'd give it a go.
