Moving on from the recent XC wheelset thread, any recs on something with a 20mm axle option – but light and happily to run 2.3-2.4 tyres, and will be used tubeless on my 456Ti. So looking at an all-up weight.

Fancy the new Easton Havoc Carbon’s, but they ain’t cheap. Thought of a Hope Pro 2 SP front / Hope Pro 3 SP rear running Stans Crest, or maybe Specialised Roval?

I have a rear 240s XM819 wheel, but with 24 spokes its a bit too flexible – so need something a bit stiffer.

Any thoughts, and weight/strength is more important than price.

hope pro 2 with stans crest are brilliant.

I’ve got a very nice pair of Industry Nine hubs built on to custom red Flow rims with black DT Comp spokes and brass nipples for sale. Just had a full new set of bearings and come with 20mm front and a choice of QR or 10mm bolt through rear. Also supplied with Stan’s rimstrips for improved tubeless performance. Cost almost £800 when built, I’d like £450m for them.

They’re perfectly straight and true and all the tensions are still even.

Let me know on matthew@screamingjaffa.co.uk if you’re interested

What do they weigh?

The pair are about 1850g I think. Definitely under 1900g. No worries with strength either, they’re really stiff.

OP,what are you going to do on them?

Basically anything, from mincing in the Chiltern through to The Peaks / Glentress.

Sorry, too heavy.

No worries

as long as you’re not too heavy,then Crests on either Hope or Stan’s ztr,they’ll be around 1500gms for the Stan’s,I have them,run 2.4 Mountain Kings,and have no probs so far,I weigh 200lbs,but don’t do owt too exciting.
