My MTB wheelset is now 10+ years old and is showing signs of its age. Rather than continually have the spokes replaced and retrued I'm contemplating just buying a new wheelset. Saw some Fulcrum's but they're not compatible with V brakes. These seem a good deal:

FSA XC 100

FSA XC 105

Any suggestions around the same price would be appreciated.

May just upgrade the entire bike.

    These have had a good write up in either MBR or MBUK, I can't remember which, and are a little bit cheaper;

    Neither of those are particularily light....in fact heavier than my second hand bought Shimano 475 hub Mavic 117/Sunringle 21 combo (that cost me a total of £17)

    A good option (if slightly pricier) is http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=227

    Thansk rf6 and Simon. I've had a look at the wheels suggested but its not clear whether they're compatible with V Brakes?
