FWIW, I am an anal retentive researcher and monumental tightarse, and bought the easton havens off CRC for $ 430 wheelset. The easton problems with their hubs loosening has been fixed and if you get old stock, they'll send the kit to update them to new design.Looking to change my 29er wheels - currently on TWE's and interested in a change - TWE Crests and DT comp/rev mix, nothing wrong with them - light etc and never bent them. Just want to try something else for a smoother hub, with tighter engament and stiffer wheel
Mavic SLR and ST - any good? Seem to have gotten past the bushing in the freehub now and since 2012 its no longer used.
Seem spendy though that's the only problem.
American Classics look interesting too, but AM's are 1800g and the MTB Race are $1k as well (unknown how stiff and strong too - very light, maybe a bit too light?)
If you buy something I might be interested in the twe s though.....
Arch ex hopes are around $440 a wheelset ATM , make sure you get the new 40pt engagement rears though. The arches are supposed to be plenty stiffer than the crests
