Going to order a set of these once i can work out what set up i need. I have no idea when it comes to certain choices for fitting sizes, qr, centrelock, 15mm, 6 bolt? Don't want to order a wheelset that doesn't fit. How do you find out what you need? I can't see anything on my my bike that states.
I currently have a hardtail, 26" wheels, quick release XT hubs and skewers and a RockShox Reba rl front fork with 100mm travel. (2012 Cube LTD CC)
You can have them do a custom build and check the weights also. I had a mess about with it and the set came out at under 1400g at around 250 pounds.
I chose DT Swiss hubs. There was also different spokes you had to choose, no idea what the choice was for, length or thickness, so i don't know what to go for there either, lol.
As for the hubs, you have 3 to choose from, there own, DT Swiss and i can't remember the other. Anyone know about this stuff who can recommend which hubs they offer is best? And what setup i need? Thanks!

Simple.
Do you have disc brakes ? are they held on with 6 bolts or centre lock .?
How are your existing wheels fastened front and rear . Quick release or bolt through axle.?
All you are doing is replacing with a better lighter wheelset so not changing anything .
I just got set a set of crests on hope pro 2 hubs . Excellent . One more thing the crest is more cross country in nature and not designed for heavy riders who jump and thrash wheels.0 -
Yes mate, i have disc brakes and use quick release skewers. As for centrelock or 6 bolt i don't know? No idead how i find that out? I'm afraid my knowledge is more than limited.0

Ah, just took another look. I'm fairly certain it's 6 bolt.0

Will the spoke options matter? or can i choose any and they'll work fine? or do i need something specific?
i just redone it on there converter. crest rims, 2.0/1.5 spokes, dt swiss hub 6 bolt qr... 555 pound for the set weighing around 1350g
Also noticed a set of Easton EA90's for around 350 quid. Would they be better? They're a bit heavier at 1560g but are a couple of hundred cheape0 -
Look here http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=496 only available in white with silver hubs now but an amazing deal at £1400

Sounds like a DT240 wheelset, which is a pretty top end hub. There are other options cheaper if you want that sort of weight - A2Z, Funworks (through Actionsports.de). 240s are great hubs, but cheap they are not.
I'd get the Superstars and put the £400 you save onto other bits.0
