Hi all
I am looking to buy a new set of wheels for my bike GT avalance 1.0. i am looking to spend aroiund £150 on them

Does anyone have any suggestions on what wheel set to buy that gets the most for my money? which would be mainly used for XC use and some trail use.

Many thanks GJC

    The current wheels are?
    Why do you want to change?

    TBH, for 150 quid you probably aren't going to get something any better, if it is stronger it will be heavier, if it is lighter it will be weaker, most probably anyway

    I have been looking at some Mavic Crossrides for xc & trail centre use - they were recommended by someone who knows what they're talking about! I ride fairly hard but will never be a huge downhill fan so I think these will be fine for my use.

    They come in under your budget if you look for discounts, Ebay etc.

    Go to merlincycles and get 719 rims on the best hubs you can afford with ACI double butted spokes.
