Set 1 dt Swiss 1900 spline with new bearings and start ratchet upgraded but:
25mm
None boost

Set 2 hope boost hubs in purple with Mavix ex729 rims, boost width and 30mm rims

Want:
Boost
30mm
But not the Mavic rims
Like the hope purple but love dt hubs

Aaaaahh first world problem

What would stw do? DT wheels aren't worth much in reality, the hope/Mavic ones are 200 miles old and mint

The hopes are better hubs.
If you don’t like the rims then change em.
Although, I would be firmly in the ‘grommet’ camp.
