I'm 14st, ride mainly bride ways and single track trials with very little skill.
Looking for a 29er wheel set for lightish, 29er FS build. Want to run tubeless.
Might spend 350.
Considering:
DT Swiss 350 on Arch or Flow
Hope on same.
Thoughts? Should I go for a BEEFIER RIM on the 29er.
DT versus Hope hubs?
Hope are reliable, pretty light, provide great customer service, but are a bit noisy. A lot of people are not bothered by this. Arch EX are a great choice of rim – burly enough for me when I was 18st.. Don't be tempted to choose ultra-lightweight spokes and you'll be right. Tubeless is awesome and will save you over half a pound of rotational weight – nice.
+1 for arch ex. Xt hubs if you want to save some cash.
