[#6655980]

After a set of cheapo 26" wheels, narrowed my choice down to the 3 below. what are peoples thoughts?

http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/WPOOTW26/on-one-reetard-trail-wheelset-26-inch - £103.99 with discount

http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/pacenti-switch-am-26-wheelset-clearance.htm - £150, probably go for the DL31 as presumably this is stronger?

http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/switch-evo-wheelset-sentinel-26--clearance.htm - £130

Are they better than all of those I posted? Any idea what the weight is like and if they're tubeless ready?

Buy my Reetard wheelset with better hubs (SRAM X9/X7) for £65.

The £130 Superstar Sentinel ones should be great for XC stuff. Where will you be riding?

Mainly Cheshire, Llandegla and Marple!

I weigh nearly 19st though so strong wheels would be better

barffy, not sure what a flat spot is but it doesn't sound good? Also, are sram hubs compatible with Shimano cassettes?

Bad experience with Superstar pacenti switch wheels - rims were like paper and died a death on a rocky descent and the bearings in front and rear went within a month. Could have just been unlucky though. My Mavic crossrides have lasted far batter, think I got a set for £150.

Edit: just saw you asked for TR, I tried and failed setting my crossrides up tubeless.
