  Cheap commuter wheelset I'm looking to buy a "cheap" wheelset. 29" 15mm front hub, 142x12mm rear. The tricky part is I need an xd rear hub, because I have the sram 1x11 drivetrain. I have tried some wheel building websites and none had xd hubs. I'm riding tubeless, so just switching the tires every couple of days isn't going to work. Does anyone know where I can find these rims/hubs cheap? Also I'm in Okinawa Japan, and I have searched for local bike shops that could build the wheel, but I haven't found any. The only bike shops I have found are like sporting goods stores in the states, they just put the bikes together, no maintenance.

  Don't know if you read Japanese but these guys seem decent enough to be able to build wheels or have 29" wheels in stock. 沖縄輪業株式会社 http://okirin.ti-da.net/ https://www.google.com/maps/search/%E6%B2%96%E7%B8%84%E8%BC%AA%E6%A5%AD/@26.2085035,127.7012805,15 z/data=!3 m1!4 b1?sa=X&ei=Sz9WVcOIH8 zHuATx7IHACw&ved=0CIIBEMgT

  Anyone have a good bike shop they would refer? I finally got my bike on the island and it's in need of a good tune up/new tubes etc.

  Here are a few local choices - The one Adam is referenceing is Komesu: 1. Ishikawa Cycles is located on rte 74, just off the Kadena Rotary in Kadena Cho. Ishikawa-san is a very good bike mechanic and sells Treks and other bikes. 2. Route 329 cycles is owned by Ikehara-san. Located on rte 329 in Ishikawa-shi, he is a very good mechanic and has a variety of bikes for sale. http://www7 b.biglobe.ne.jp/cycleplaza_ikehara/english.html 3. Komesu cycles is owned by Komesu-san on rte 330, next to the shrine in Futenma-cho, between MCAS Futenma and Foster. Komesu-san sponsors a triathlete team and races, himself. 4. Bridgestone Bike Shop (Okinawa Ringyo) is the largest on Okinawa, located in downtown Naha on rte 58 and in a second location (map in files section). Lots of parts and bikes. http://okirin.ti-da.net/ 5. Awase Wharf Area - down to backside of Comprehensive Park, North along the coast on Hwy 85. As you approach the Awase wharf area on the right, watch for a large yellow building with big fish on it. Turn left onto the road in front of that building. The bike shop is on that road a few blocks further down. Lots of road bike and mtb parts, low and high-end. 6. NEOS - just North of Kinser at intersection of 58 and Convention Center road, SouthEast corner. Similar to REI in the states. http://www.outdoor-neos.com/ 7. Sports Depot - South of Kinser about 1.5 k on hwy. 58, in old Makiminato Housing Area; at stoplight at top of hill, West side of road is Hotel Ekka, turn left (East) and Sport Depot is the first store in the shopping mall. Big place, similar to a SportMart. Alos one in Awase, near #5 above. http://www.alpen-group.jp/shop/sports-depo.html 8. Bicycle Kids - near the park that hosts the Naha Marathon, South of Kinser. http://www16.plala.or.jp/a-kids/
