I am going to go tubeless on my XC bike. These are my choices starting from the least costly to the most costly.
Shimano XT dicc, DT Swiss, Mavic X3.1 $299.00
Hugi 240 Disc, DT Swiss, Mavic X3.1 $499.00
Spinergy Xyclone Disc, DT Swiss, Mavic X3.1 $569.00
Chris King, DT Swiss, Mavic X3.1 $699.00 skewers are extra
The lightest sets are the Hugi and Xyclone, I have always heard that Hugi hubs were tanks but ?
I have also heard bad things about XT hubs but Ive never had any problems with the standard or disk variety I still have a set from 1997 and they are smooth as butter.
I have already decided against Chris King, too many dollars for my unemployed ass.
What are your thoughts on the other builds?
Now what about skinny tires? Trail conditions around here in the winter tend to be leafy and soupy, much like spring and fall in the NE.
