i was looking at this months what mountain bike magazine,and they had a review of some new hope wheels.they now come with stans ztr tubeless rims,and 3 bolt rotors for £385 a pair!!!they sound awesome.am going to save up for a set,but was wondering if anyone has got a set themselves,and how they ride?

Yes, they are that light and yes they are a bargain. They do however have a rider weight limit

i have the xc sp3s on stans 355s

despite my moaning the other day they are dished spot on it is wonky forks- the old wheels were just dished to suit....- they were 3mm out of true but thats within tollerance for a machine and BS and ACT guidelines. I trued em up to spot on but i guess they will be 3mm out again ....not ridden them in anger yet but they are light that is for sure ... make my monos on cxp33s seem lardy ....
