swapping out 20mm hub for 15mm, or buy new wheel?
97th choice

Breaking my banshee and want to keep the mavic xm317's for running downhill tyres, is it worth swapping the 20mm hub for a 15mm hub that's the same spec as the one on my giant trance or just buy a new wheel?
Reason I'm thinking of this is that I know of two instances where the giant rims have buckled badly on similar bikes, whereas my mavics have put up with tons of abuse and never needed truing. So I could go tubeless with light, less grippy tyres on the giant rims for summer, trail centres etc.
Thoughts, dumb idea all round?

unbilding and rebuilding on a new hub will cost the same as a new wheel."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
