Hope hubs (40t engagement)
Dt swiss spokes
E13 trs race rim or wtb kom
Thanks all
Any one. Want to order before end of the week
I've got Roam 40s on my Whyte and they've been great, fairly lightweight and so far bombproof.

£245 front, £285 rear
What sort of use?
Doesn't sound like a very lightweight build you've specced.
I'd go for American Classic (AEbike.com were cheapest I found) or DT240 hubs on Crests with Revolutions. Should be about on budget, and 1300-1400g depending on wheel size.
What kind of riding is this for? XC, AM, Enduro? Also, what wheel size?
Sorry guys its to go on my 27.5 mega am so a strong build. Looking gor a weight of 1800 ish or less idealy
Righto, a set of Arch Ex rims on Superstar Switch Ultra Lite Front and Tesla EVO Rear with Sapim Race DB spokes and brass nipples is only £335, and well below your weight target. If you fancied saving a smidgen more weight you could upgrade to CX-Rays and Alloy nipples for 80 quid.
