Looking for a replacement wheelset, 26" mainly XC use, will run tubeless.

Currently have Ritchey WCS, what's the best upgrade option?

Used! Lots of lovely wheels out there, posh XC wheels suffer the 26 Is Dead effect worst of all.

(there's a nice set of KOMS with a DT240 rear hub that's been on ebay for a while, I reckon you could get them for £200. They're not XC race light, 1600g, more everyday use XC durable)

Fewer bargains than there were, it's been 'obsolete' for a few years now. 5 years ago there were more Podium wheelsets than you could shake a stick at!

Anyway, without further info I'm going to suggest [url= https://www.bike24.com/p2125291.html ]AX-Lightness Extralites.[/url]

I have a set of roval Controle which are under 1400 grams. I was going to advertise this weekend but thought worth mentioning.
They're silver anodised rims with DT Swiss 240 based hubs.

Cheers, I'm not light so 'robust' is preferable, along with qr front and rear....proper old skool!

I'll check your suggestions
