Still can't quite make my mind up.
Currently using ProII/4.2 wheelset on the XC bike. Now I've started doing a few XC races I'm looking for something a bit lighter.
My nominal budget is £300 for a new set, or £200 sh.
Obvious choice appears to be ProIII/355 this will save me around 400g in weight and cost £300 new.
I am worried about the weight limit though, I weigh in at 80kgs so with kit I'll be at the 85kg limit. Given my experience of recent gorricks there are little dropoffs/occasional small jumps so it would need to be able to cope with that.
I've also looked at roval traverse which seem to come up in threads alot, I've seen them for £350 but apparenlty on research those versions (AL) weigh in at 1750g odd. Amercian classics are about £400 and weigh in same as proIII/355s but without obvious weight restriction
Advice – what should I do. Will I trash the hoops? any other similar wheelsets around the £300 / 1500g weight that I've missed and not researched?
