Hi folks,

Looking at doing a new 650b build

Anyone recommend a good set of wheels / hub for all round trail riding whithout spending silly money on carbon rims

Anyone used the new superstar tactic tesla evo?

Recommendations appreciated

Oli

I have some. I been thinking of selling them if you are interested?

I got some Eason Vice's of ebay, pretty impressed so far and have taken a hammering. Thinking of taking them to the Alps in a few weeks.

My light bicycles are very nice, wide very stiff- can be too stiff thru rock gardens? save a chunk of weight over the stock wheels, survived ews, a ukge, they go up fine with just one roll of wtb tubeless tape,

The loss of rotational weight or whatever makes all day rides a lot easier

Built mine up with my old pro iis

Very happy

Only caveat my rims took a month to get made, posted and clear customs
