I'm looking at losing a little from the standard wheels on the T130, so looking at 27.5 boost with XD hub, anyone know any good ones to look for that are at a decent price, thinking around 1700g weight would be about right?
Hunt trail wides?
Look good, just a shame the XC is only in 29
Got a set of hand built Hope Pro 4 hubs on Stans Arch MK3 rims with Sapim D-Light spokes that come in a smidge over your target weight on my T130C have been rock solid for the 2 and a bit years I’ve run them, just built up a spare rear for my Cotic Soul as I switch the front between both bikes. Think they cost about £400 in the end, money well spent!
£615 gets you a set of Newmen Evolution A.30 wheels, 1620g for the pair.

Hope XC Pro 4 come in at that weight and are great wheels. If you are going bigger than about 2.25 you may want something wider though. I have them on an Anthem with Hans Damf/Nobby Nic and really rate them for xc use.

I've built a few sets of these, and they're brilliant. Mine are a little under 1700g, and the best rims for easy tubeless.
