standard wheel 385mm
Mtec2 is 370mm

Stick to a budget of Ԛ£70 and NO more!

You can buy them new for Ԛ£200

They are smaller than a standard wheel, and they feel a lot chunkier in the hand ooerrr!

Prices range from Ԛ£40 for poor, up to Ԛ£100 for mint. You can get them brand new for about Ԛ£170.

I've seen the small diameter tech 2's go for anything up to 100 + on ebay. I managed to get mine ( a minter) for 60, so you just have to be lucky. I don't know the size of a standard 4 spoke wheel but the tech 2's come in 370mm and 385mm

nice one, thanks. Would this be the nicest bm wheel to put in? Or an aftermarket jobby?

M-tech II is the best, but it's all down to personal taste!

Are tech 1 wheels any different size wise to standard or tech 2?
Throwing money at it will probably fix it. Throwing a hammer at it is far more rewarding!
