This would be the very first set of wheels I've ever bought. Not sure how much there is to it.
Was looking at this as a rear:

and this as a front:

Using the conversion kits to get 15mm through axle on the front
http://www.wiggle.com.au/hope-pro2-front-hub-conversion-kit/
Wasnt going to bother upgrading the rear system to a 142x12mm through bolt, cause its another $100 for the parts from Giant, and I not to recently bought a new DT Swiss 142mm QR skewer.
What are peoples thoughts on upgrading to these, and whats the deal with cassette body on the hub? Is that just the grove types that the different cassetttes require to hook onto the hub? What if I want to upgrade to a XT 11 speed later on, will I need a new hub?
