Anyone know anything about these wheels?
My mate is after a new 26" rear wheel, possibly front as well.
He's seen the Pro-Build Chosen Hub / Alex Volar Trail Wheels at Merlin.

Specs look good and the rear is only £99.95
Can't find any user or mag reviews online.
My mate doesn't like clicky hubs (won't have Hope!) any idea what sound these make??
They're very good wheels, especially for the money. Wide rims, easy tubeless setup, well-built, not a bad weight. Hubs seem reliable but they are almost as loud as Hope. We've used them on several custom builds and have a set on a demo bike.
While they are loud I wouldn't say they're clicky, rather they make a buzzing tone, I quite like it personally.
Also interested in this wheelset. Is the rer hub compatable with any shimano 9sp cassette or will i need to buy a specific type to work with it?
