I'm thinking about upgrading the wheelset on my O5. Hope Pro2's at the moment which I will use more in the winter mud so looking for a quality set that will enhance and lighten the bike a bit for long rides but still take up to a 2.25 tyre. Easton Haven perhaps? Any suggestions or experiences would be welcome.

Hope Pro II Evos on Crests or Flows?

I am running the above in 32h with Crests along with 2.25" RoRo's

Hope Pro II Evo & cresta rims or Royal's if you really need to go that light... would have though you'd be better of dumping that pig iron frame of your 1st though if your thinking of saving weight

Thought it might be the cheaper option Z1ppy. New bike = £lots, new wheels = £not too much, which will avoid having to dream up excuses to keep the Boss happy!
And the Easton Carbon is most definitely out - can get a new bike for that.

Bit of a hi-jack but on similar lines - as Superstar have sold out of their cheaper wheelsets can anyone recommend a wheelset in the £120 region? Deore hubs handbuilt on to some sort of rim? Cheers
