Rim choice

The Big Cheese

AM hoping to order some new wheels soon.

I was thinking Black Hope Pro II (10mm bolt on) on the back for availability of spares etc (even though the noise drives me mad!!)

And a burgtec 20mm (gold) on the front.

Rims are the issue here....

I am going to be using them for the Mythic, wont be doing huge drops, but want them sturdy enough for all day playing up the trails, so need to be sturdy.

I was thinking EX729s.. the stable choice, however I was looking at the spank rims (Stiffy and Subrosa) in either black or white to complement the frame.

Are they any good, they look trick but does anyone have any experience with them? I have heard the Stiffy rims are WIDE... which Im not sure I need, the Subrosas are classed as an all mountain rim...

Any views? Or any other suggestions.. sun etc

The classic 721? Good enough for most DHers!

No good for what I need them for?
