Ok I know absolutely nowt about wheels! I'm going to get rid of one set of wheels with a bike I'm selling - i have one set of Formula / Xero wheel set which came with my 05 Giant XTC3, and a set of Formula hub / WTB Dual Duty XC rim which came with my 07 Trance 2.
I don't know which ones to keep? the Xero wheels look the coolest and toughest with the extra deep rim and weird spoke pattern, but the others look the lightest.
I'll be using them for light "all mountain" use on my Trance. At least till i can't afford some better ones.
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

P.S. anyone interest in my great condition XTC3 - loads of upgrades! and only used for commuting as you will be able to tell from it's condition.

I'd keep the latter - the former are a bit porky, and the funny spoke pattern is inferior.0

The WTB?
The only thing I have against them - is it's almost impossible to seat wire tyres on them - I just can't get the beads to pop into the rims. Any tips???0 -
Strong thumbs, and perseverance!
Yep, I'd keep the WTB.0 -
I wonder if they will make a good conversion to tubeless with them being such a tight seat. hmm....0

Possibly... depends on tyre too.0
