I’m building a 29er hardtail in Ti…..bit of all round XC use, odd trip to the Lakes but leaning towards a nice light build to race on. Am 84/85kg so wont go silly on weight saving, I’ve narrowed the choice down to 3. Will probably have a go at tubeless, first time with that. Budget around £500 or so.
American Classic Tubeless 29″ – 1600g. Get good reviews and look the part. Ready for tubeless. Have never used AC though and dont know anyone who has…..how do the hubs stand up?
Mavic Crossmax ST 29 – 1710g. I’ve always got on with Mavic wheels though not sure you get what you pay for. Set for tubeless.
Hope Pro2/Crest – Anyone know the weight of these in big wheel? Am I too big for Crest? These will just do the job and wont cost an arm and a leg right?
Other suggestions welcome too but thinking one of these.
