Hi fellow peddler's, still tring to decide on some wheels, I dont do big air or drops,( nothing bigger than 3') but I dont want anything wimpy either. The current wheel set I have which are V brake wheels are: XTR hub's, laced to Bontrager Valients, DBL butted spokes and AL nipple's, I had no problems with these wheels going out of true, so I guess even though I like to mess around Im not hard on wheels and I should be fine with some decent XC wheels. I have a Kona Bear frame that Im putting togther.
I have been thinking about tring either Hugi or King hubs, big price difference I think between the two, plus I can get a small discount on the Hugi's, are they any good now days? I here the engagement on the King's are the best, I know they both are somewhat light.
Now, what rims should I get, I will run atleast a 2.1 or bigger tire, should I look at getting a narrow rim like a Mavic 317 or Sun 0 deg., or should I try something a bit wider like a Sun Ryno light, ( I would still like to keep them somewhat light too )
What about the Ringle wheelset's that you can get at the LBS's?
Thanks all
