Thinking of treating myself to some new wheels, what are my off the peg choices for lefty front hub and q/r rear (but needs to be adaptable) wanting xc light weight but please no stans rims, I know mavic have done them in the past?

Ps, don’t really want to spend more than £600

Speak to your local lbs/wheel builder, and get them to build up whatever takes your fancy.

Crank brothers. Seen some deals on sets aswell.

Mavic still do – new 2017 wheels recently launched. Crossmax Elite would be a fair bit under your budget, Crossmax Pro a touch over (both include tyres, though).

DT Swiss 240 hubs with rims of your choice should be possible in your budget?
Edit:
Ah, didn’t register the off the peg bit, sorry

Hi Jonny

I have a lefty Chris’s king hub for sale 32h if any good to you?
I Also have a rear 32h king hub 142×12 on xd drive

Keep an eye out on classifieds here and eBay. I got a lefty pair of Enve on DtSwiss 350 for £500. I had already got one such pair. They are stunning.

25% off Superstar sale if you find anything?

I was looking for this exact thing a while ago. I opted for a Superstar custom build with Lefty Hub and DT Swiss 240s rear. Cost was £480 or thereabouts.

I used Stans Arch Mk 3 rims, CX Ray spokes and the weight came in around 1600g. Having ridden them a few times now are awesome. I couldn’t be happier with it.

Thanks guys, probably gonna do dt240’s or American classic hubs with some lightweight rims, would like carbon but can’t really afford!!!
