i have had a look around the forum and can't find the answer to my question or i have but was answered years ago!
anyway I'm going to take up xc racing again this summer, the last few years i have been riding road races and crits but after a fairly successful cross season i want to continue off road!
my mountain bike is up to the job except for the wheels, so my question is what are the best lightweight 26inch wheels with 9mm QR for around the £350 I'm only around 62kg so they don't need to be bombproof
cheers boys and girls

A2Z hubs, Podium rims, Revolution spokes. Maybe a bit over budget, but mine were 1246g.0

You'll need to get the component parts and build them. Any decent shop can get the hubs. Total Cycling have the rims for a good price, and Rose Bikes are cheap for spokes. Google is your friend.
I've got a set of DT240s on Alpines for sale, but not quite as light.0 -
Cheers mate, i have a mate who builds wheels looks like a good option, you wouldn't happen to know the spoke lengths?0
