I was sort of set on a pair of Crossmax XLs but the deal did not go as planned. Soooo, I am back at the beginning. I need a UST wheelset (not doing Stans or anything, has to be UST). The Crossmax XLs are a bit more than I can afford at the moment. I am considering: Crossmax Enduros, XM819 rims and Hope bulbs or XCs. The Bulb/819 combo, with QRs and such, would be around the same in cost (maybe more) than the Crossmax Enduros. The convertible hub is a nice feature on the Bulbs but as it looks like I am changing DH frames, it is of limited use to me (I was planning on possibly using the XLs as a light wheelset of tame DH courses). Price is a pretty big factor but I really need something that will hold up. What would you do? Are there other options I am not considering?
BTW, I am about 180 lbs w/o gear and these are going on a Giant VT. Trailbike riding, UST tires.
