Need help picking wheels

WindyG

Looking to have a second set of wheels for my Anthem X, use is totally XC including some racing, won't be going down the tubeless route and I weigh no more than 75kg, max budget is £200, Fork is Fox F100 RL-11 with 15mm Thru Axle
Have found these below but now stuck as to which would be the best/lightest option.
My thinking is the ZTR 355 rims with XT hubs would be the best? I've heard the Easton hubs are not great are not easily serviceable?

+1, they do, I ordered some on sunday, should hopefully be here tomorrow

WindyG

Yep I could consider the Superstar option.

Why do you need a second set? Use what you have, and save for something that's a real improvement. 2 sets of wheels is a ballache, from someone who has a set for racing and a set for 'playing'!

Well I'm going to get a new lighter HT frame to replace my Scott aspect and will need new wheels for that but they will then be a 2nd set for my Anthem as well, it will save me switching tyres over for different weather/conditions. Trying to keep the costs within reason as I have of course got other spends to consider.

It's easier to switch tyres than wheels. Calipers need to be centred each time, and gears indexed.

Ok being a total noob here, I was hoping if I had the same cassette and discs on both wheel sets I could avoid that?

If that's not the case then ignoring these being a 2nd set for my Anthem, which would be the best choice for the HT i'll be building up, same use XC no hard abuse like jumps etc

Nope things never line up perfectly. Always need tweaking.

WindyG

Still don't know which wheels are my best option.

For £200 is hard to beat the superstar deal.

Mine came in at 1658g if thats any help

Agree about the Superstar deal, also agree that changing tyres is easier than wheels, less faff for sure.

So you're not really interested in the opinion that it's not worth the expense because of all the hassle.

I apologise wholeheartedly for missing that bit.

Superstar.

Cheers guys Superstars it will be, the Anthem can wait for a proper upgrade when the wheels actually need changing and the HT is built.
Greer_ cheers for the weight info, good to see that matches what Superstar say.

lostboysaint no worries anybody who admits a mistake is fine with me.
