Looking at either novatec 711/712, or circus monkey disc hubs.
My xts have been somewhat disappointing so would rather sealed bearings.
Which would be better? Or anything else worth considering for around £100 the pair.
For £200 including tubeless rims, look at the Raleigh Pro-Build Chosen hubs on Alex Volar rims. Available from most bikeshops!
Superstar? Switch Ultra lite?
Ta will check out the Raleigh builds.
Superstar are novatec anyhow. 🙂
I've got Superstar Switch ultra light front and ultra rear (only 'cause they don't do an ultralight), and they're brilliant so far!
Yes, the new Raleigh Probuild / Alex Volar / Chosen wheels look excellent - we've just placed our stocking order and have already pre-sold a couple of sets.
Judging by the quality of their other wheels, they'll be well-built and the components look excellent. Cracking value.

if you need 15mm/12mm hubs etc.
Just to follow this up - has anyone had a hands on feel of the Chosen/volar cx wheels? They look like a bargain but I haven't heard of Chosen hubs other than they make hubs for others.
Cheers
Have a look at DT Swiss on Ebay. There is a Polish shop on there that have been selling them for not a lot of money. We got some wheels from them last week and the service was first class as are the wheels
