Right now my wheelset is:

Rhynolite rims with front formula 20mm hub and rear xt hub.

Any idea on about how much this weighs.

I was thinking about replacing these with some of the 20mm compatible crossmax XL wheels?

What do you guys think? Is it worth a couple hundred bucks?

The first question is what will you be using them for? It sounds as though they would be comparable to your current wheelset in terms of what they were designed for.

The rear XT hub is an anchor, and having a new rear wheel would probably make the most difference weight wise.

You can probably get these weights at weightweeny.com (or whatever the URL is) and figure out exactly how much weight you'd save, then you can decide it the money is worth it. By the way, I think MSRP on the wheelset is probably ~$600-700 USD, not just a couple hundred.

why go for weight? go for the DEE MAX!!!!

If you're looking for a DH wheelset, Crossmaxes are too lightweight. I'd go with a 721, 729, or 823. Lose the XT hub if you're looking to save weight too.

Depends on your money. Deemaxs are light and effective. However, if you have more money, hit up Spinergy Fall Line DH.

I'm still liking my azonic outlaws. Cheap, pretty light, strong (so far) and they have qr/thru axle conversions included.
