Shimano M775 or M776 wheelset.

JAGGY

Hello

I'm looking to replace the wheelset on my Trek EX8 ( rythm comps ).

I really like the look of the Shimano XT m775/776 wheelsets.

Mainly the m775 for the lighter weight.

I weight 13.5 stone at the minute. Are the m775's too light for me. I ride quite hard.

Will these wheels take anything that Glentress has to offer apart form the bikepark obviously??? Or am i better off gettting the all mountain m776.

I run Mountain King 2.4's. Will that also be a problem?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

They will cope - but they are quite flexy.

I'd opt for a handbuilt set from merlin as I think they are better value ie 719 rims on your choice of hubs.

I`d also check out Hope hoops,which are now available with Mavic or Stans no tubes rims aswell as the original DT Swiss.
The Stans rims are the same price,as the others,lighter and tubeless ready.
