If you're interested in dt1900s then drop me a message.
Can do you a new pair for well under half that £400 budget.

If you are interested I'll do you a straight swap for the Bontranger 29 wheels including tyres that came with my fuel EX 29er for your 27.5+.

I actually have a set of XC Wides from Hunt and they are excellent. great tyre profile, tubeless up with a trackpump on old tyres, lovely clicky freehub. Running them on a Solaris Max longshot and really impressed a year in. Will probably get a Plus set at some point, but paying for a second cassette on Eagle is putting me off a bit.

1700 are better than 1900.

E is enduro, that's what I'm selling. M are more trail wheels.

1700s are proper good wheels, 1900 are decent OE quality but less refined
