Hi guys, apologies if this question has been asked before! I have a Norco hardtail and want to upgrade my wheels. I have a budget of £150 as saving for full suss too. I've seen the superstar am, anyone got any? I will be doing mainly trail riding/moderate dh and weigh almost 18st!
Thanks guys!
Also anyone know of any flatish trails around Lincolnshire, I can't do anything too testing as recovery from acl reconstruction!

What bike do you have? Also what wheels are on there?0

Have a norco charger 6.1. The wheels are wtb sx17, well that's what it says on the rim!0
-
Also what sort of DH are you riding? This is an XC bike.0

I know, nothing serious as I need a full suss. I will mainly be riding trail centres as I'm a born again mtb rider. Spoke to a few shops and they recommended first thing to upgrade is my wheelset, so what do you guys reckon? Don't really want tubeless as haven't a clue how to do it and I'm not very hands on!!0

If you wanted to upgrade for weight reasons, then the wheelset might not be strong enough for you. The beauty of some wheelsets that are included on bikes like this is that they are pretty tough! I wouldn't bother changing them, I don't think you stand to make any improvements.0

Ok thanks for advice supersonic, noticed you're from Sheffield. Any decent trails near you with not a lot of climbing?!0

Not really, is all hills!0
