Custom built set of DT XM551's on hope pro 4 hubs by just riding along?
They built me a set of XM481's 12 months ago and they've been spot on. If I was after another + wheelset that's where my money would go.

Actually, just noticed you said boost and not plus. In that case I'd go with XM481's.

Pop over and have a chat mate...

For that sort of money though, Hope Pro4 hubs on your choice of rim. Given her size and riding style would suggest something like DT XM401's possibly, or Raceface AR24's or 27's.

As above but on DT 350 hubs.

If she's light and/or wants to run 2.2/2.4 tyres, there's the new XM421 - 25mm internal rather than the 22.5 of the XM401 or 30 of the XM481.

Thanks for the replies,
The XM421 look good , shes not too keen on the Hope "noise" so the 350s would be good .right off to get some built prices .

If you want DT swiss hubs and a 30mm DT rims then what about the M 1700 complete wheels? They are basically boost 350 hubs and they come in 30 mm wide now.

Could be a bit easier.
