[Closed] Will this be a light 29er wheelset?

Original Hope XC hubs, with ZTR Crest 29er rims and DT Swiss Comp spokes?

Will they be a good weight or should I blow a load more cash on some lighter hubs?

That'll make a lovely wheelset - light at the rim where it counts. Probably somewhere around 1650g, which is plenty light enough for a 29er wheelset for racing

yeah pretty light
I got the same last year but with 355s,
do go tubeless though to get the best out of 'em, no need for a kit
just valve and tape does the job great

Thanks lads, I'll get them built as soon as I can get hold off some Crest rims ๐Ÿ™„

I really like my Hope XC hubs and was loathed to flog em.

@Twinklydave. I love your TD-1 btw!. I think you might quite like my new Rigid Ti build. I'll post pics when I get the wheels sorted.
