Are you wanting to go tubeless, might be something to consider....

XT Wheelset will do both.

Second Hope Hoops choose a rim/hunb combo that you like and go for it.

Can't go wrong with XT hubs and XM719 rims from Merlin. £150ish from memory. Nowt "wrong" with XT hubs, and what servicing that is required takes <1hr including tea breaks and cleaning up. The £100 saved over buying Hope stuff buys a few decades worth of grease and ball bearings!

I second uplinks idea. The hope hoops on ztr 355 are proving great for me for general riding. And they are good value given the individual cost of all the parts. In fact, all the hope hoops are pretty good value imho. If they are too expensive, then Jimbo has the right idea - choose your rim and get XT hubs (just clean and grease the bearings every so often)...
