Mavic EX729s on pro 2s. Get them made by Merlin! Very nice!!

Complete overkill for trailcentres/xc.


Mavic XM719's are very good, make sure you get them built be a good wheel builder such as Merlin / Stif / http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/

i ride the same and am gettin hope pro II and XM719's strong and not too heavy. built through merlins too

dunker

you might also want to consider the xt 775 hubs.

EX729's are total overkill for what you want, believe me I have them laced on Hope Big'Uns!

I would recommend XM719's on proII's, im building a new bike for the sort of riding you do and that is one of my considerations.

(see tubless tyres in the forum)
