  1. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Disc compatible wheelset? I am looking at moving to
    a Disc brake setup and not sure on what set to pick up. I was looking heavy at a set on Pricepoint
    that had the Shimano XT hubs with the Sun Rhyno Lite rims. I am about 6' 185lbs. I do a lot of hard
    pack trail riding and will take some minor obsticles (roots, rocks, etc..)if presented. Does anyone
    have an opinion on this set or maybe another recommendation?? Thanks in advance.

  2. Little heavy, no deep middle channel to help change tires...but strong. Ran them on my I-drive
    for 18 months (2000 plus all dirt miles) still running strong although that bike is a
    backup/loaner bike now.

    I am 220, that combo has been totality maintenance free; have never had them re-trued, nor broke a
    spoke. For the price I don't think you can beat them. Paid $150 at Jenson USA.

    Both a friend and myself have been running Mavic x223 for a few years now. They're fairly light, but
    can take a thrashing without a problem. Heck, we took 'em to both Crystal and Whistler.

    Just be sure that your getting the FH-M756 (rear) not -755 and check for the Schrader vs. Presta
    valve hole, black or silver hubs / rims, if you care.

    I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing. The rest I've just wasted.

    Better check mine.....

    Sounds like he wants to do casual riding. I've never had a problem, (knocking on wood) and they can
    be found fairly cheap.
