As the title. The flow/hope pro2 combo has finally given up and I'm after a similar strength wheelset. Must be 15/142mm and 26" compatible.

I like the look of the carbon superstar on Tesla hubs although I would like to hear some real world reviews.

My Spank Oozy rims on pro 2 evos are great. light stiff and have handled plenty of abuse with 100kg on them on a hardtail

Thanks, any ideas of the weight?

And before anyone suggests the light bicycle carbon rims, which look great I can't afford to wait 6 weeks for delivery.

Is it the hub or the rim that has given up? If the hubs are still good, get some light bicycle carbon rims build onto them. It's what I plan on doing if/when I kill a flow rim.

EDIT: sorry, didn't see you post until after I'd said the above.

+1 for Spank Ozzy rims, try as I might, I can't untrue them!

Light and stronger then they look.

Chris King hubs in them too, very expensive but very very nice.

My money would be going towards DT Swiss hub on the rear and Hope Pro whatever on the front.

I'm sending back a Tesla freehub after 4 months. Googling suggests I'm not alone. The Tesla evo is supposed to be much better.
