Hi all. My Whyte T129 currently runs the stock whyte trail 21 rims and unbranded hubs. If I were to upgrade to hope hoops with arch or crest rims, would I notice a difference? Reviews suggest so, just wondered in anyone had any similar type experience. Ta

I’ve got last years Whyte T-129s. I’ve upgraded the hubs but not the rims. It deffinatley runs quicker than with the standard hubs. Had the wheels rebuild with sapim spokes. The ones the bike comes with are rubbish, constantly going out of true. Not had any issues since.
Bought a set of Hope pro II/Stans Crest for my XC bike and the difference was amazing. Stiffer, Lighter, Quicker.
