I finially blew up the rear hub in my rhynolite xl's and now im looking for a new wheelset. i mostly ride AM stuff so i need them to be light (atleast lighter than my current setup) but i do alot of weekend trips to bigger, gnarlier trails so i need something strong that i dont have to worry about on drops or cased jumps. and heres the kicker...i need it cheap. im in college and in the process of building up my jeep too so im broke.

ideas:
-transition revolutions
-sun-ringle equalizer 31's

my bike is a transition preston with 150mm manitou travis.

any suggestions? thanks.

I think transition just came out with an all mountain wheelset.

edit: The link on there home page just takes you to the 32 and 36 wheels. I would call them and ask.

Not really sure what bball is talking about but here is the direct link:

Scroll down for the info on the AM set. FWIW I was going to go for the AM and my LBS recommended just dealing with the extra weight and getting the 32s. Plus they come in way more colors if that's your thing.

Sun A.D.D. or Azonic Outlaws.

Go-Ride has the A.D.D. on sale right now.

only problem with the AM wheelset is that my fork is 20mm thru axle. the AM set is only QR.

The new AM wheelset is 20mm compatible.

I second Azonic Outlaws for good price and decent weight (front 20mm=1157g & rear 135x12mm=1329g). Or Sun Ringle A.D.D. Wheelset or Shimano XT Wheelset WH-M776 or industry nine.

another vote for the revolutions. They are about 300 grams lighter than an equalizer wheelset or the outlaws. That and the choice of color is better

Buy my 823s on Hope proIIs.

2009 Outlaws:

I am really digging the gold!!!

They did raise the price by $50 though!

Only the Outlaws come in 150mm rear hub.

He has a 150mm Travis not a 150mm rear

I have an older set of Revolution 32's, and I think the 2510g is a bit of hopeful thinking. I would bet 2700g on them... Bulletproof though...

those new outlaws are sick! im liking the gold. are they already out?

but im still leaning towards some revolutions and maybe now the outlaws.
