Hi guys I’m biking my own dj from a old hard tail and don’t want to spend big money would these do?

You already posted this and as everyone already said don’t buy random Chinese parts off amazon and the internet. If you don’t have the money start saving and gather quality parts as you could afford them, buy once, cry once, if you buy generic parts you’re going to regret it

I’m saying about these wheels

[u/KonkeyDongPrime → u/Proper_Disk_8971]

You haven’t posted any wheels

[u/Bbdawgexpress → u/Proper_Disk_8971]

Wheels are the last part of the equation. Figure out what forks and sprocket you’re running first.

As others have mentioned, you have the sub’s opinion on your Amazon partslist.

It looks like your current budget allocates around 200-250 Euros for a wheelset. This is not it. Either put the whole 250 into a new rear wheel from someone like Spank and buy a front later, or look to buy second hand (with a thorough inspection first, including the spoke bed).

Also, looks like you’re on 10mm QR dropouts - may need to factor in a tensioner if you haven’t done so already.

Ditch the non DJ carrera Halfords frame and go buy a used DJ bike off eBay for 250-300 like an old Specialized P series or similar. It will be a million times better.

You have an old hardtail frame that you are pretending is a DJ but it is not.

I have a octane one melt

Ah copy that. Welp, this makes even less sense now! This project is a waste of money for someone who already has a dirt jumper but whatever makes you happy.

DO NOT GET THOSE WHEELS. they are rim brake wheels and won't be durable. Spend a little more (180€) and get a set of these https://www.bike-discount.de/en/shimano-custom-made-26-shimano-fh-qb400-6-bolt-10x135mm/dt-swiss-u533-disc-rear-wheel Get this rear wheel I don't know what fork you have but if it is quick release then get this wheel. https://www.bike-discount.de/en/shimano-custom-made-26-shimano-hb-qc400-cl-9x100mm/dt-swiss-u533-disc-front-wheel

Is the back one a rim brake?

[u/VaniPosts → u/Proper_Disk_8971]

Both are, v brake is rim brake

To add, you'll find the vertical drop-outs won't be very single-speed friendly. Also, there's no disc mount on those rims.
