Folks
Looking to decide which wheelset to keep, as I've got the choice of two for my Rocky Mountain ETSX:
Easton XC two (10 months old):
http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/ ... set--31771
Hope Pro2 on Mavic XC717 (2 years old):
Same as http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0364474227
Altho the Hope/717 are older, and a bit more knocked, are they that much better ?
(I'm a general XC rider by nature !)
Thoughts appreciated.
Cheers, Dave

I would imagine the Hope/717 set up is lighter. Possibly a better freehub. Possibly handbuilt but you do not say what spokes. The Easton rims are a bit wider though.0
