Hi all,
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm thinking of putting together some nice wheels for
cross-country and retiring my current ones to commuting duty. This is still a pipeline plan at the
moment, because money is fairly tight for at least this month, but I'd like to hear your opinions on
what to put together.
My riding is generally cross-country singletrack, I'm in the 'pie-eater' weight bracket (95 kg), my
bike is a hardtail. I don't go out of my way to do any jumps or drops, but I can occasionally be
quite clumsy. Having said that, my lightweight crossrides have lasted 2 years until I trashed the
rear last weekend. I have no intention to upgrade this bike to disks, so there is no need to
consider disk-specific hubs or rims.
I've been thinking about Hope mono hubs and mavic x517 28h front, mavic x618 32h rear. What do
you think?
Cheers - Adam...
