I'm looking at tarting up my wheels; I currently ride on XC717s on Hope XCs, and will swap them out for Pro 2s on a Stans rim.
Given that I've not done any serious damage to the 717s, Crests should be fine for me, right?

Just to reassure me - XC717 to Crest?

Will 'upgrading' make you ride better...?

Absolutely! Have you yet to see the light?! Everybody knows the more you spend/ the more unnecessary your 'upgrades', the better you ride!

First wheel build i every done was last year with pro 2 and crest rim (29" front 26" back). Probably put in several thousand miles since 50/50 road and of road and no problems. My wheels stay on the ground mostly (unless i am lifting the bike or falling of!) but have done 1 - 2 foot drops and the wheels have been fine.
So i think you should be fine, very easy to go tubeless with yellow tape and valve if thats your plan. Nice rims in my opinion.
I am defiantly a faster rider as a result, i just ignore my cycle computer when it begs to differ

Earplugs also. Pro2 racket gets annoying.

I went from 717s to Stan's 355s on both my MTBs

I've been running Pro2/Crest combo on my hardtail for over a year now with no issues. I'm over 14st and they are still as true as the day I got them. Had JRA build me up a PIMP set with DT Swiss Supercomp spokes
