Got a Cotic roadrat coming and I want discs on it. So whats the recommendations for disc ready wheels sets?
handbuilt or factory?
XTR hubs and Open Pro rims
reasonably priced n suitable for a clutz.
Pro 2s on Open Pros.
Mavic Open Sport sturdier and cheaper than Open Pros.
Have you checked out Cotic's own wheelset?

I can't remember what the rims are though, ask Paul or Cy.
I'm just building up some old Hope hubs on Stans Arch 29ers for a similar purpose. They'll work for tyres down to 28mm and obviously suit something much wider. Light and robust!
I'd go for open pros over open sports any day - pros aren't any weaker IME.
LX hubs or above.

Well the Sports certainly should make stronger wheels, having more material including a couple of extra webs and hence being stiffer. It depends how bothered you are, but if you're more interested in strength than saving a few grams (which is after all the point of the Open Pro), then the Open Sport is better. Then again Mavic also do a disc specific A317. If it were me though I'd go for a Stans rim.
I'd go for open pro's on hope Pro 3 or pro 2 if on more of a budget 🙂 - obviously custom 🙂
reasonably priced
...suggests not Stans = ;87)
I guess reasonable is realative and I got the pair for £99.
Two years on Open Pros on my Roadrat without issue, mostly on with some offroad.
I'd go for the Edge deep-profile carbon tubulars if I was you, to compliment the incredibly lightweight roadrat frame and fork. 😉

Open pro profile is deeper has stronger alu and is double-eyeletted?
Aim of open pro is light weight [i]and[/i] strength is it not?
FAIL 😉
