Need a set of 26er wheels, 15mm Front QR Rear.
Ideally 6 bolt hubs.

Seen Mavic Crossrides for 130 or Superstar/Pacenti for 150.

Anyone seen any decent deals?

They are for the wife so they don’t need to be burly.

😯 I hope you’ve brought you flame proof jacket!!

I’ve got some Hope Pro 2/Stans ZTR 355 I’ll be selling shortly if you’re interested in 2nd hand?

She’s 8 stone and rides cautiously…

I’ve got the Pacenti ones and they seem pretty good. I’m a bit heavier than your missus (well, twice as heavy) but I’ve been round ladybower loop on them and they didn’t break. The hub makes a nice “hope’y” sound too.

I only paid 112 for them though – I’d probably wait for superstar’s next 25% off sale which will in a week or so probably…

I ran mavic crossrides for years and didnt die. Including a run down the fort bill world cup track(on a 120mm full suss!) and they were still true. Wouldnt want to have to replace a spoke though…

OnOne are flogging their 26er Reetards for a penny under £100. I had a set a few years ago – not light at 2kg but they were nice and round and stayed that way.

Get a pair built for her, I bought a pair of new Stans ZTR Alpine rims (like these in the eBay linky) and then bought a good quality hub and jobs a good’un

Light. Quality and come in at a fraction of a whole wheel…I took my time and found a ‘sale’ XTR Hub even so was properly happy!
