29er wheels
Non-boost - 15mm front, 12x142 rear
25mm to 30mm wide internal (prefer the 30mm end of the scale)
Around 2,000g for the pair
Needs to be Shimano type freewheel unless you know of a singlespeed kit for XD.
Less than £200

Any good deals that can supply me that lot?

Nice find, Dez.
Seems that Gusset do a singlespeed kit for XD, but it would add £38 to my costs to get the sprocket size I want. So, any XD options need to be that much cheaper...

On one have Pacenti rims on El Guapo hubs for £150, but those Octane One's would be cheaper with the Shimano freewheel already.

Owt else?

The driver is mega easy to swap out as are the end caps to get it how you want it, and they sell the spares for them.

Give em a call to discuss, see if they can do something for you mate, it'll still come in under budget.

Just ordered some new 29er wheels myself. Didn’t realise that hardly anyone does 135mm qr rear wheels anymore, barely any choice, without going custom. Hope hoops are about it, so ordered the XC variety.
