What do you acually want?

Irri_Tant

Another set of front and rear rims with discs to suit bike the bike so I can put road based tyres on as I want to save the off road tyres for just that. Don't want to mess about changing tyres between rides.

It's normally quicker to change tyres than to change wheels and then re index the mech each time.

Budgets also help - 99p? £999?

Irri_Tant

Understand about the indexing

Budget circa £350

Chain wear matching cassette and rings too? Also disc alignment?

Is that budget for the lot?

Irri_Tant

Budget is for it all

Mmmmmm, maybe not a good idea then

The Rookie

You'd need wheels, tyres, tubes, discs and QR's and to reindex the rear mech every time you swapped, or just swap tyres....

650B road tyres is what you need, Schwalbe Marathon plus are as unpuncturable as you can get but a beatch to fit and heavy and give a harsh ride (as the tread is so thick), I'd just pick a pair of decent 650B road tyres in a 32mm width.
