[#9847227]

Hi STW

Im looking for some suggestions for my hardtail which im buildling (Dartmoor Primal). It takes 29 boost wheels so i need a new pair. Budget max £400 and i'd like to keep them under 2kg for the pair. From what i've seen i quite like the Stans S1 wheels, and they come in under budget also :), is there much better for the price?

Cheers

Chain Reaction will build you Pro4s on Flows with DT Comps and brass nipples for a fraction more than that IIRC. Not sure there's anything else around that price I'd prefer.

Stans S1 Arches, reasonable weight, fashionably wide, built well, decent freehub, under budget.

Talk to 2 pure as the Ibis boost ones I have are the dogs danglies.

iirc they often have new sets available at knockdown prices.

you'll be mightily impressed unless you like your rear hub to sound like a loud bitch on heat

Start Cycles are offering 10% off to new customers, so the Hope enduro wheels with pro 4 hubs which have been disounted to £360 come in at £324, so i think ill go for that!

good deals about on the mavic xa elite wheelsets, good weight, no idea if theyve shaken off their reliability issues though!
