LB rims come standard with Novatech hubs if you buy a fully built wheelset, or you can pay more for a hope hub upgrade, the hopes are actualy a little heavier than the novatechs.

You can also specify 28 or 32 spoke wheels for more stregnth, and they offer 3 types (more layers of carbon I belive – XC, AM and downhill.

Mm, the Stans crest are holding up very well for a lightweight option (+1 @Jeffus) I have replaced a few spokes, but still strong after over 1500 miles of abuse. On-one are doing the Shimano XT rims at 30% off at the moment. I have been running a set of these on my SS for many miles, but the hub and centerlock rotors might not suit.
