Ok guys
Am thinkin about a new set of wheels to replace my DT Swiss E2000's.
I know the choice is endless but what do you lot ride?
Ride around Calderdale, Hebden etc with trips to Alps, inners, Glentress etc.
Need something lighter than i have already
Cheers

I'm going for Hope Pro2 Evo's, DT DB spokes and Spank Subrosa evo30 rims.

The rims abre about 50g heavier than black stans flows, 20g heavier than the white ones and more imporantly, come in gold 8)

They also seem to use the stans bead lock design and are apprently signifiacntly stiffer too.

And they're £20/rim cheeper

I've used Stans Flow on both Hope Pro 2 and Pro 3 straight pull, and both were great for regular 'Dark Peak' use. I couldn't really feel any difference in stiffness between the ordinary and straight pull versions of the wheel. Occasional small ding in back rim, but then I run tubeless and am a bit lazy about pumping tyres up!

Am now running Arch EX and they're really nice & stiff - might be too narrow for ya though?
