    I used a set of Hunt Trail Wide wheels for a year before changing bikes, through all conditions both locally and on multiple away trips to the Peak District, BPW, C-Y-B, Snowdon, Antur, Afan etc. I won’t hesitate to buy another set, they were absolutely boombroof in all respects.

    Sorry, I wasn’t meaning to be harsh or bad mouth Hunt for not letting me have the 10% discount.
    I missed the deadline, so be it. Not their fault.

    All I meant was if I could of gotten their Trail Wide wheels at 315, I would of gone ahead with that.

    Also, the DT Swiss build DOES INCLUDE the 36t ratchet. The kids are gonna starve for a little whiles.

    Also check out fitwheels website for builds and you can email Lukasz and request a custom build. Just don’t expect quick delivery. I’ve purchased several parts from his company without any issue.

    recently had the same decision to make
    wanted 30+mm with not ridiculous weight, yet good durability
    i opted for Spank 350 in the end due to CRC having them at the same price as the hunts.

    I had a similar decision to make – ended up with the Hunts.

    I had a look on the ’nearly new up to 40% off’ section of the website and got a set of trail wide non-boost 650b for £230.
    That was a brand new front and a very lightly used rear – in fact only mark I can see is where a valve was fitted.

    Had been looking there for ages until they came up on new years eve.

    Is this really being asked?

    DT, no brainer – head and shoulders.

    I hear straight pull spokes are a PITA when you come to true your wheels 3 years later and you turn the nipple and whole spoke turns.

    DT Swiss for me, Moonglu do 481’s on hope hubs for 485 if you want to stretch a bit further for a uk builder.

    UPDATE :

    I got the DT’s.

    From Fitwheels.eu.

    Only had a short test ride on them so far, but first impressions = AWESOME.

    I do love a massively vague review from someone who’s just shelled out a load of cash 😉

    To be fair, they did say they had only done a test ride.
    But yeah, I’d like more info too.
    Watching with interest.
