Looking for advice for a decent xc wheel set that will be good / light enough for racing but also strong enough for trail center and rides round the peaks etc , was looking at stans crest but I weigh 14 stone so am over the weight limit for them
The amercian Classic tubeless ( not race ) look a good price for the weight etc
Any other recommendations
14st be no problem on a well built set of crests - although how you ride is more important IMHO. If you're talking about a normal, wheels predominately on the ground XC style then wouldn't worry about crests at all.
Cheers Garry according to stans site the max weight is 13.5 stone , I do ride hard downhill and over roots/rocks etc so that's why I had ruled the crests out
good man for not pinning us down to a budget 😀 easton all the way for me
Light Bicycle on your choice of hubs, I've been really impressed with my American Classics, or DT240s?
Looking at spending £500-£600 , amercian Classic do seem to have good reviews
American Classic on LB rims would be the upper end of that, but in budget. Mine are 1370g (29er) with Revolution spokes.
