URGENT - buying advice for Bontrager wheelset
easyg
Posts: 266
I am looking for a new wheelset for my hardtail. We ride XC and light AM - long single track (Dalby Forest for eg.), 2ft drop-offs (absolute max. 3ft) and the associated downhill sections one gets (like at Dalby).
I have been offered a brand new set of BONTRAGER RACE LITE DISC TLR TUBELESS wheels for £200 and must give an answer today.
Two questions -
Are these wheels high quality (durable, reliable, live long)? and appropriate for my riding?
and
are DT Swiss hubs decent? (they come with DT Swiss hubs as standard according to the Bontrager website)
Thanks, any input much appreciated (hurry! please)

They are an XC/Enduro wheel, not really a DH wheel.0

Got the DT Swiss on mine and they are very smooth (and light). Some reviews here http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Hub/product_124579.shtml0

I would disagree with Sonic on this one, they are a decent XC wheel but not strong enough for Enduro (which seems to mean 6" bikes these days)."Internet Forums - an amazing world where outright falsehoods become cyber-facts with a few witty key taps and a carefully placed emoticon."0
