I'm still looking around for a good set of rims and hubs. I have been quoted a really good price on both a Mavic and Stans wheelset, with hope pro 2 hubs. I want a rim that is light and string, good for tubeless setup and can cope with any terrain. What would your preference be? |

I think the wheel set quoted to me for either brand was about £350. |

Personally i dont like Hope hubs (I know everyone else here does) I'm an engineer by trade and cant stand the "donk-click" I would go with some American classics or DT swiss hubs on either Mavic rims or similar. My brother had a set of these, http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/fulc ... -prod58672 and they rolled really well. I have a set of these http://www.light-bicycle.com/beadless-c ... O3r9nysWSo slightly more than budget, but a hell of a lot lighter and super stiff, if anyones wheels roll better than these i'd eat my lid. |

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at your VW on Sunday at Bedgebury. But I think I will get some Stans or Mavics built locally (Chelmer Cycles). I just need to decide which rims and hubs. Are Hope hubs loud then? |
