need to be suitable for XC/trail riding on a rigid swift with a rider who weighs 95kg naked!
suggestions would be great ..just want something half decent/reliable but without the Hope style freewheel racket . always wondered why basic XT disc hubs with stans/mavic rims aren't more commonly available ready built as surely they'd be popular?
thanks
Bill
I think you've pretty much answered your own question. I've used the same set of A319 on Deores for years and years without the slightest problem.
You can spec what you want for about £272 at Justridingalong
Bit of a click but far, FAR less than Hopes (I have both). I have 3 sets of wheels from them and all ok so far [url= http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=40&products_id=496 ]http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=40&products_id=496[/url]
slx hubs + mavic tn719 rims + build = £220ish
strongish, lightish, serviceable, quiet.

You know where it says about the adaptors, do i just choose what i want to run with?
I.E. i have 9mm QR front and back, so do i just set it to that, or do they come qr as standard and you choose an adapter that you may have future use for?
Or am i being thick?
I'm running Fulcrum Red Power XL tubeless (Stans kit) - fast, strong and quiet (in fact near silent freehub). Wiggle have the 29er wheelset for £230:

QR front and back with an HH15 converter in the box for the front. Would have them again in a heartbeat. Job's a good 'un 😀
I've got the Superstar wheels as well. You need to pick your axle adaptors and they'll come fitted. Happy with them so far.

what is the weight of these do you know?
Flow or crest for general trail riding XC hardtail?
95kg then Flows I would say. The weights on there are for the 26" ones. The 29" Flows are 55g heavier each so factor in a bit more for spokes as well and so perhaps 2040g ish and yes just select your adapter, can buy others later on if you change forks or frame
Does SS now do 29er builds? Its not very clear on the site..
thanks for the superstar link - bought a pair...
