    Been looking at superstar and they have a few sets for around £200. 26″ all seem to have their switch evo hubs but a bit of a choice on rims with mavic, stans and pacenti. I’m 14 1/2 stone and mostly ride trail centres and they will be going on a boardman team fs if that matters.
    Thanks in advance, Graham.

    Ive bought second hand Hope Pro2/Mavic UST rims second hand in great condition for that price. The hubs are then easily convertible to QR/15/20mm axles and fully serviceable.

    Not new, but worth considering IMO

    stans flows on the superstar hubs would be my choice

    + another. I’ve been happy with my superstar wheels.

    Might be worth having a look on merlin see what you can get from them. You might not be a million miles away from hope hoops price wise.

    I bought stans crests on switch evo hubs from superstar for £200 recently and I’m happy with them. The spokes on the front wheel were a bit on the loose side but if you’re buying a wheelset at that price you know they’re not being built by a pro.

    If you’re not afraid of a spoke key you can’t go wrong at that price.

    Check your rear-wheel spacing. Its probably 135mm.

    I bought a wheel-set from Superstar, two years in, no problems. And I’m a fat **cker. Alex rims ( Nukeproof ) Switch hubs. I’d Defo go with them again if I was on a budget.
