new front wheel

kester

Hi guys had a crash today and buckled my front wheel and now need to replace it. buckled wheel is a DT Swiss M1900, i was looking at either getting another M1900 or the stronger E1900 model but thought i would ask you guys for opinions aswell.

type of riding i do is trail / A.M, other requirements for the wheel are
27.5
15mm through axle
IS-6 bolt
tubeless ready as an advantage but i don't currently have my wheels set-up tubeless
price under £150 preferable but could stretch to £200 at maximum

cheers in advance

Hope Pro 2 hub with a wide variety of rims can be had for that price, I got one with a flow ex rim for under £110 the other week.

Or just a rim of your choice and lace it to your hub.

I know this would be a cheaper option but I don't feel confident enough about building up a wheel myself.

yeah had looked at the hopes but got confused with all the rim options available! will have another look at them though

Wheel building is easier than you imagine. have a look online theres loads of guides. If I were you Id be tempted to build it up roughly then get it trued at an LBS will work out a fair bit cheaper than buying a whole new wheel.

Building a wheel is easy. Building a really good wheel is not easy.

It's not hard either, it just takes time and patience....or if you don't have much patience, then lots of tea breaks....
