[#2318153]

Sometime before the summer I'd like some new, tubeless ready wheels, ill probably get my local to build em up

Rims maybe mavic 819 or stans crest ( in WHITE!!! ).

Hubs are where my question arises, if money was no object I'd have a lovely whirring n a purring chris king ISO..... but can't really afford that, I've heard superstar have many engagement points but I am.... dubious.

So what are my hub options? I'd like em super quiet and preferably whirring, I'm sick of hope clicking behind me.

I ride a lapierre froggy with a QR rear and fox maxle front - strength is not an issue, Im light.

XTR are quiet and very well sealed.. Super low rolling resistance and you can usually find older ones a little cheaper.
819s are quite heavy but very very strong..

My DT Swiss hub is fairly quiet, though it does vary a bit.
