    What's wrong with what you have? You won't get anything measurably better for £150.

    +1....

    What do your current set weigh? I'm guessing about 1850g, in shich case just keep them....
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    The DT hubs are pretty good. How about getting some new rims and spokes on your old hubs. You won't get complete wheels better than you have for £150.
    I'm getting my wheels re-built and it's costing me £50 + parts which isn't too bad.

    Don't think they are dt hubs, just the rims.

    Had the bike for 4 years now. and the wheels have had a hard life. the hubs are shimano m525 it's just DT rims and spokes. over time i think all the spokes have been replaced and i've replaced the bearings in the hubs 3 times now. so was thinking about buying new wheels.can't be bothered to repair them again.

    If they still work though, keep using them - then replace when they die.
