Hi,
Just to add to the masses of daily wheel topics I'd like to gain opinions on:
Roval el
Superstar switch evo and crests
Superstar trizoid and crest
Superstar switch evo and arch ex
Prices vary from £200 - £300, so not wanting to spend more than that.
Specifics are:
26"
Fitting to camber
current tyres tubed purgatory 2.2"
QR fitment but would like the option to change if the bike changes
Want something lighter than standard wheels which are approx 2kg
Must be stiff and strong
Riding is trail centres like Dalby, Whinlatter, Afan, Pines
I weigh 12.5 st kitted up and am not the hardest rider.
Favorites at the moment look like the Roval EL.
Thanks for your help.

Trizoid and Crest. Switch and Arch if you want more strength.0

Thanks SS, the Trizoid and Crest deal looks very good as they're light and use CX Ray spokes too. I am concerned that they may be flexy though, just how stiff are they? The current wheels on the camber do suffer from flexing a little and I really want to eliminate this. Also should I be concerned about the Superstar build quality as there are quite a few reviews with poor feedback.

99% of Superstar owners seem satisfied. The CX Rays are stiff for their weight. Looking at your weight, bike, and terrain, I'd go for the Crests.0
