Can some please recommend a good quality wheelset for £200. If possible light ish with good hubs. For singletrack, trail use.

Thanks. Already looked on Superstar. Any idea what their own wheels are like at £165 a pair?----

no personal experience with them, but there seems to be quite a lot of people on here that rate them, you see quite a few in the your mountainbike section, also worth looking at http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/widge34 wrote:Thanks.

I have WTB speediscs on at the moment with WTB hubs. The only thing is I don't know how much they weigh, and I can't really be assed to take them off and strip them down to weigh, so I don't really know how much of a weight saving I will get, which is the main reason for buying a new set.----

If you google the hubs and rims separately, you might be able to find out how much each weigh(entry level wheelset weights are not always published, but the hub/rim weights usually are. The weights can usually be found on the manafacturers website). Then add roughly 60-70g for brass nipples and 450g for 64 plain gauge spokes. This should give you a rough idea of what they weigh. My alexrims set with formula hubs etc comes to ~2.2kg0
