    think they are custom wheels made for the canyon nerve xc's, most likely the same as x1800 just relabeld

    Ahh right okay. Would you know if the hubs on these wheels are any good?

    can't say for sure, i have the AM version, don't know if hubs are the same or not, but mine have been fine, had no problems with them

    they are used on the current XC 8 and 9, so they must be decent http://www.canyon.com/_uk/mountainbikes ... tml?b=2558

    Ahh thanks that explains why there is limited info on them. I ended up buying wheelset for £140 i think I got a bargin! I'm looking for a set of new disc brakes now any suggestions?

    Shimano XTs are brilliant.

    Thanks for the suggestion I will consider these. I might see if I can get some second hand on singletrack or ebay.
