I am thinking about buying a new bike, Trek Superfly 9.6, and making a few changes to save some weight.

Most obvious place to start is the wheels, after the saddle, from what i can find the Mustang TLR's it come with are far from light. On the basis that i need a general purpose XC wheel set rather than super light and having had no issues in the past with there wheels am thinking about Hope tech Xc's or on the basis i have never had an issue with DT rims, [url= http://www.actionsports.de/en/fun-works-n-light-evo-dt-swiss-xr-331-comp-race-disc-1520g-laufradsatz-29er-4265 ]Actionsports funworks DT XR331[/url]

Can anyone offer feedback or similarly priced alternatives worth looking at?

If it matters riding will be old school XC with an aversion to going downhill.

I am also thinking about some Hope Tech XCs on my superfly. Where did you find the weight of the Mustang TLRs, I will be interested to see how much weight I can save?
