Not wanting to show off 🙂 - doubled up my wheelsets today for XC over FR/Trails with my DT 5.1D on Std Pro II's (Self built from older damaged wheelset 🙂 )
Pro II Straight Pull hubs, Stans ZTR 355 Rims (I weight about 75 Kg 😉 ), Non-Floating 203mm Rotors (overkill 🙂 ) and Sram pg990 11-34 cassette (bargin from CRC at the mo). Can't wait to zip along with these - not drop off friendly but wanted them fro enduro XC rides etc...

lol retard rotors
other than that nice - i have xc sp3s on my bike - lovely wheels
Light-ish rims with 203mm rotors?
Slight conflict there!
You're not wrong about 203's being overkill for XC at your weight on thos wheels!!!
Still, at least you know you'll stop ok...
And if you ever buckle the rim, just ride on the rotor.
MBUK flip flops! Hang your head in shame...
Well my other wheels are 203 rotors for FR/Trails on 5.1D so therefore I need 203mm rotors for these wheels 🙂 I am not sure putting 180 rotors on these would work with 203 mm adapters 😉 I do have 160/180 on my HT BTW 😉
BTW my main reason was to be able to swap wheelset for different riding - I have minions and Highrollers on my 5.1D wheelset which are great but heavy and draggy for long days on Dartmoor and Enduro events and thus these with XC tyres on will be a great on lengthy XC rides 🙂
I hope I have defended these wheels admirably!!!!
What is the weight saving over the 5.1/standard Pro2's?
Useless thread without relative weights for both.
😉
quote a lot:
STANS 355 with Pro II SP
Front: 740
Rear: 863
DT Swiss 5.1D with Pro II Std
Front: 912
Rear: 1022
Anyway I am not trying to justify the difference but overall I wanted a spare wheelset to swap out with XC tyres on and therefore no point going for a FR wheelset which is the same weight as my current ones 😉
Hope PDF link for Pro II, SP and ProII setups 🙂

That's a fair weight saving. Are you going tubeless?
I am tubeless on the 5.1D set but have not ordered rim strips for the 355's yet (Stans on the 5.1D's). When I have some more money (was a recent small windfall) I think I will do as my XC tyres are fine tubeless as have used them on the 5.1D's 🙂
