Sorry man, I have already paid the reverend for his wheels...
But mine, yes, 15f and 12/142r, 6 bolt.
Weight wise, I don't think they are too bad, don't know exact weight but i havent had any issues or anuthing, im only swapping cos I want to run tubeless and they are not compatible.
Downside is the postage to get to you, I paid 57.80, as per auspost website, to reverend for shipping so assume it'd be the same to send a set of wheels down to you too...

I still say you should make your own thread. Damn snipers taxing from other people's threads...:rant:

I love the smell of fresh cut grass...
No need for anyone to miss out. I can heat stretch a set of 26" rims out to 27.5" if you like? They are dh rims at 26, so should be plenty strong for am at 27.5.

So, why didn't you buy the Reverend's wheels? You'll be waiting a while to get a deal as good as that on 27.5 Stans.

I've posted a pair of wheels for under $30. Need to be creative with packaging.
Because I didn't have the money at the time.

Fair reason.

Yep. Don't Box them. $25 is par for the course.

Really? Not trying to sound like a prick, but if I don't box them are you recommending just wrapping them up in some suitable packaging / paper?
Wouldn't have thought that was the best option but I'm prepared to revisit it. :^)

Well padded and secure round packing. Far safer than a box.

I'm sure you say a lot of things that nobody listens to... :ghost:
I don't have much knowledge on mtb wheels so I'm down to a couple of options.
They don't need to be too solid as I'll only be doing easier runs on this bike.
My budget is $300 so I'm looking at these
Sun Ringle / Inferno
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...-25-mtb-wheelset-inc-tyres-2015/rp-prod142204
Second hand Deore XT $300 posted
Second hand WTB ST i29 with a ding but still holds the tyre. $230 posted
$260 posted new Mavics
In assuming I can space out a 10sp shimano on this 11sp hub.
Also I'm not seeing that these are disk brake hubs?

Ghostees Giant set for $150
Any advice guys?
I'd probably run Stans no tube because is like to run thin ish tyres.
Edit: sorry this is turning in to Q&A but some aren't giving the OLD on the front. I'm running fox float fit 32's which I have assumed are 100mm but could be wrong!

Unless you are in a super rush, give it a bit longer. SRAM 11/12sp cassettes need a driver hub, but a standard cassette body will take shimano 8,9,10,11sp cassette, and up to 10sp SRAM.
The mavix are disc only.
2nd hand XT...depends on condition. If bearings are flogged, they're for the bin.
The inferno are nothing special, but not bad...and posted, fitted with tyre....not a bad option.
Ghostees wheels? Not even once. Part because ghostees, mainly coz shit giant.

Ha, classic. Cheers Moorey.
The more I look the more I'm spewing about those stans.
I'm on a deadline with those WTBs because he's going away but I think I'll pass.
I was just thinking I need to get in on the CRC sale
So maybe hang out here for a bit to see what's around?
Those Mavics are tempting though.

I've had the crossride before. Heavy for what they are, but if you're not going to thrash them, and not after a race wheel, they aren't bad. You'd get 75% of your money back on the if you look after them and something nicer pops up later....or just ride them...plenty do, without issues. At least they're new, and posted from Ireland will be quicker than posted within Aus anyway. I'm waiting on a chainring posted from NT over 2 weeks ago.
