[#7860244]

Hub on my 29er rear has properly given up: bearings + freehub terminal. Not an expensive one (shimano hub / alex rim) so unlikely to be worth fixing.

So looking for suggestions. To go on a Singular Swift, used for nice, natural XC riding. So v limited gnarl. Running 1x10 XT.

Have Hope Pro2/Arch EX on the other bike which are great. Pro 4s a bit above budget though from what I can find.

Only need a rear, budget up to £180, maybe a little higher for something worth it. Tubeless preferred.

What say you good people? Thx.

I've got DT swiss ones on my new bike, they're a factory wheel-set bu AFAIK they are XR331 rims and I'm very impressed with them.

Thx Steve, will take a look. Are you running tubeless?

Yeah, they came with DT swiss tubeless tape installed and I got the valves, Vittoria TNT tyres went on without levers and inflated with a normal trackpump.

I'm currently I'm the market for exactly the same wheel you are describing and have been recommended to look at a Halo Vapour, haven't tried one yet though so can't comment!
