1300gram Wheelset?

edited January 2011 in MTB buying advice
right at some point in the future I want to get some new wheels.

They need to be around the 1300g mark at about £500 they'll be for xc racing, they need to be tubeless compatible (stans rims would be ideal) and I'm almost weightless so strength isn't a massive thing. Just to finish hub quality is slightly important; I want them to be reliable and not need a bearing swap every six months.

Any ideas/ bad experiences of similar products?

    ZTR hubs on Podium rims from JRA. Or if you can Sacrifice durability (based on reports), A2Z hubs on Podiums will be just over 1200g with Revolutions and cheaper.

    Jra? Just ride along? After googling them there's no online store. Where can I find these wheels? What are the ZTR hubs like, the weight doesn't seem to be bad.

    Bear in mind if you do go down that route that Podium rims are not tough, or stiff. Alpines are heavier, but are more appropriate all round wheels.

    I'm partial to go for the alpines, they're light enough as well as they're nice and strong. Although when your as light as me it makes no real difference.

    But it says a limited life span of 3000-5000 miles, just how true is that. (for the podiums)

    For the podiums It says you can only use non-tubeless tyres with it, can you still get for; example mud x tyres on them as I rather like them and there's not a non-tubeless model. And how hard is it to get a non- tubeless rocket ron on and for it to seal?

    Any experience with the ZTR hubs, what are they like?
