ok, so there are some great sticky threads for tyres, lights, and forks - how about one for XC wheelsets/rims/hubs?
I have a Rhyno Lite on the back (XT hub) and some Araya rim on the front (LX hub). The Rhyno is very heavy so I was thinking of buying a new pair of wheels.
A certain online bikeshop has a set of A-CLASS Vetrax T2 wheels for $280, or a SPINERGY Xyclone Disc Wheelset for $700. Anyone know much about either of these? Or have any other great recommendations in general?
For info, I'm around 57kg, ride a nice light scandium frame (Fastrax), with old Rock Shox SID SL forks and I do mainly cross country riding and racing, which includes the occasional drop-off, jump, etc. I've just got into racing this year and want to do more (currently training up for the Ottway Odyssey).
cheers,
Chris
