Need to get the weight down on the bike and looking for a light 26" wheel set.

Any recommendations?

Cheers, Dec

Add another £50 to that and you could get the Easton EA70 XCT which me and Lazer both have with no real complaints. Light enough, nice quiet freewheel and have held up to some light jump action too.

Must be said though Easton customer service is a bit hit and miss and they did have issues with their hubs around the time these wheels were produced in 2013.

That all said, I'm still tempted to get a set of Easton Havens for my other bike and I believe the wheel part of Easton was recently sold to Race Face.

I had some pancetti's they are made in the same factory as Stans and share the same rim pattern. (good or bad you decide) obviously tubeless ready too.

Nice wheels plus no annoying click from hub.

FOund same model on Ebay for a little bit more: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stans-NoTubes ... 19f2e45ae0
