New Wheels Wanted

Gentabout

Hi Guys,

First post and after some advice.

I have just got back in to the hobby/sport to try and get some fitness back and to do something with the other half. Bought her a new bike and she is just getting used to that but that made me want to give my 6 year old I Drive comp a make over. The make over went as far as a new Pronghorn frame and XT groupset. I moved my Deore brakes, SID World Cups, Bars, stem, saddle and wheels over from the GT. Now with the fancy new frame and groupset with my existing Sid's the wheels and brakes are letting the side down.

For the brakes i have decided on the new Xt's when i can get a set along with the new ice rotors which are centre lock. i will need to use my current 6 bolt rotors for the time being.

For the wheels i can not decide what i need or want, riding at the moment is fairly light off road (bedgebury) but i want to hit the single tracks hard when she gets a bit more confident.

I have spoken with plenty of LBS but they all give conflicting advice so i am asking here.

1 set that i like the look of are these, http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=55226 The problem i have though is that the frame and fork both have 9mm drop outs. Is it possible to use these wheels? or get some adaptors.

Any other suggestions?.

Thanks in advance.

The link is dead, have you had a look on superstar componets at wheel sets.
Prebuilt wheels or choice your own build both at fantastic prices.

Whoops, not sure what happened with the link.

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=55226 should work.

They are Mavic 2011 Crosstrails.

You could use these as the rear would probably be a 9mm QR, the front would be ok with a QR adapter.
Just check if the wheels come with it or you have to buy seperately.
