£300 max really for new wheels and need 20mm front and X12 rear hubs.
Assume that a 142 x 12 rear hub is the same as X12?
Was thinking of Hope/Arch as the default ones to go for as hubs can tweeked to whatever and guess the weight is reasonable?
Have seen these [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/halo-vapour-29er-mtb-wheelset/ ]HALOS[/url], any feedback on those especially the hub reliability?
Anyone used the WTB i23 rims, any good?
Was quite keen to maybe try a Hope Evo build with Halo Vapour rims but think that would end up more the the Hope Hoops.....
Have a look at the superstar components wheel builder. I'm sure you could put something together with Stans Crests for under £300.
Any other recommendations?
Its hard to see by the Hope Hoops, I've a pair with Flow EX's and they've been fab. FWIW I've also a pair of Superstar built BOR rims/Superstar hubs, definitely more XC but I've no faults with the build or service.
How much did the superstars weigh?
Hope pro 2 evo on crests 310 from hargroves cycles with money off via quidco
Winstanleys come out @ £300 for Hopes.
I think Oneplanet Llandegla have Archex Hoops 25% off the other day, 25%off sale on til tomorrow.
