Been offered a virtually new set of these from a trusted source for a ton. What's the consensus on them? I know the hubs are well regarded, but Hope's own rims? Is this a good wheel set for a heavy rider?

So can I conclude from that that you think they're not bad!

Did Jedi have a pair I seem to recall. If you do a search I'm sure he posted some comments.

Reviews and feedback I've seen so far suggest that's exactly what they are.

Come on, for £100 you should have already bitten his arm off.

£100 would be worth it for the hubs alone!

I have a 27.5 pair on my Cube stereo 160 and I think they are great. They weigh about 2000g for a pr of the straight pulls and I really like them. Buy!

They're a little heavier than pro2/Flows, but [i]are apparently[/i] a little stronger, with eyelets.

Buy them, try them and if you don't like them flog them. You'll get more than £100 on eBay no doubt.

I should probably keep them for a bit and see how I get on with them first 🙂

im about 85kg and ride like an ox and mine are quality, the 3 section internals make them seriously strong and feel so solid. never felt so confident on a bike before. PS- silver hubs look the best 😉

I promise you it's nothing fishy! A wheel failed on me this week, bike company offered like for like replacement for free, or these (fully checked and deemed new as far as their warranty is concerned) which have been on a demo bike for a couple of months for a hundred, or a couple of other brand new options for several hundred. Thought these might be the best compromise.

go with the Hope's, though if they are 2nd hand/used they will not have a warranty...

As in the bike company, who offer a two year warranty on parts, will still include these wheels which they are sending me in that warranty. If there's any issue with them they'll be sorting it, not Hope (or not Hope directly at any rate).
