So I've kill my rear crossrock again. Now no way I'm rebuilding the hub again.
Si I need a new wheelset.
For rims I'm going with Mavic for sure.
I have a choice between XM819 and XC717. I like tubeless, but not the weight penalty of the XM819 (70gr). I will convert the XC717 to tubeless anyway.
Is the XM819 noticebly stronger than the XC717?
For the Hubs. I can't afford CK or any top of the line hubs. But I don't want to run on XT hubs also. I'd like something in between.
I was thinking Hope Bulb or DT Onyx hubs. Any other suggestions? Out of the two, which one is more reliable?
For nipples, brass & black.
Spokes: DT straight or double/tripple butted? Suggestions?
Any advice and suggestions welcomed!
Thanks!
J.
