29er wheels for XC, £400 max

colint

Hi

I'd like to upgrade the wheels on my 2012 Trek Cobia 29er, I'm doing a few off road triathlons so want something a bit livlier than what came with it which was "Shimano M475 alloy hubs; Bontrager AT-850 disc 29 32-hole rims"

Will just be XC / trail centre use, nothing particularly rough. Ride road usually so MTB wheels are a complete mystery to me

thanks

How much do your wheels weigh?

Thanks for the suggestion, looks good

No idea on current wheelset weight, can't find anything listed for them

Simply strip them down and weigh ie minus tyres, tubes, cassette, skewers and rotor.

I just got a set of hope pro2 evo hubs with stans crest rims for my 29er from halfords for £260 in one of their sales and my front was 750g and the rear 880g great wheels and they come with adaptors for any axle.

A2Z hubs, Crests, Revolutions if you want light weight on the cheap.
