I'm in the market for some new wheels,however,there's some deals on hope/stans @ crc and I'm wondering whether to go that route or try the new hope enduro rim they're now selling !..

Anyone any opinions or know of any deals ?..

I'm in the same position. Had flows in the past and found them to be superb. I think I'm leaning towards flow ex as they are 2.2mm wider so will have a nicer tyre footprint and they are marginally lighter once built up.

Like the idea off crossmax eduro but yellow is a no go and 19mm rear wheel is far too narrow.

Chinese carbon rims seem to be great value and light but read a few recent post of them breaking quite easily.

Clearly, I'm still not sure what to buy...

Cheapest places i've found for hope wheels are rush cycles, freeborn and wicked cycles

Go for Rigida Trace Enduro rim, they are sweet and wide. 29mm internal, and light 440gr for a 26".
Just received a wheel set with these rims for Trans Savoie, will get them tested this week

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them!
Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Hope though (especially weight).
