what are my options, looking for
light strong cheap
pick two
American Classic All Mountains?
Otherwise some combination of Hope hubs and Stans Rims 🙂
In a similar situation - I've opted for Hope Hoops with the X12 adapter kit. Hopefully it'll work out...
I'm in the same boat due to me snapping a pro 2 142x12 axle on Saturday. So Ive decided to get [url= http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/56441/Hope_Pro_2_EVO_No_Tubes_ZTR_Flow_Standard_29er_Rear_Wheel ]THIS[/url]
Also I gather the old PRO2 steel free hub won't fit on the new EVO hub?
Superstar switch Evo & crests for about £200. Very happy with mine. I've changed frames and it was a fiddle to convert the axle to 10mm QR.
Flows on Superstar Trizoid rear/Pro 2 front.
The trizoid seems to be doing okay but it's only been a few months.
I've just ordered some chinese carbon AM rims so will hopefully report back on them in a few months 🙂
Bedmaker - do you have a link for those?
[url= http://www.light-bicycle.com/wider-carbon-mountain-29er-rims-clincher-tubeless-compatible.html ]I went for UD MAtte[/url]
Vondally - still looking for a RM Element frame? I have a 19" slightly older one for sale (see my post).
Cheers
Dave
I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with those rims bedmaker.
Presume they're for the TB LTc?
Also interested in those rims - seem to be the same as the Carver ones?

I'll let you know how I get on with them chaps. Expected to arrive with me in 10-14 days.
They are for the TB Stu, my only bike for the time being. I'm having a ruthless cull of bikes at the mo. 🙂
I think they are probably the same rims that are appearing all over the place Clink, they seem to have an enthusiastic following on the looooong threads over on mtbr.
cheers Dave but just bought a 29er element...hence the need for wheels......current set are all qr
