Hi, I need some help in buying soe new wheels.
I use my bike for maily all day rides cross country with some road commuting to work.. I did Have mavic crosslands but they are not made any more.
Unfortunately non e of the jargon tells me what wheel I need.
I was going to buy some lx hubs with mavic x317 rims or maybe some mavic crossrides. Any advice will be appreciative.
Weight is not really a problem as I am 14st 10lbs and my budget is not infinite as a regular joe.
Many thanks.

How big is the budget? I would say Merlin built Mavic 717s on Deore or XT hubs."Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." ~James E. Starrs0

Yep, I'd agree with that - psooibly 719 rims though if want extra strength. XT hubs are worth the extra over Deore and LX0

Cheers Fellas, will probably go to merlin.0
