Best wheelset for under £200?

Lungs94

What's the best wheelset under £200? I've been using Shimano Mach 1 with Maxxis Ardent tyres & I've only used them once on a 10km XC & they've buckled after a 3ft drop, should I buy the same wheelset (£101) or should I upgrade? Did I just get a bad batch or are those rims not very good? What rims would you recommend? V brake & disc compatible 26"

They need to be v-brake compatible? If not, then something appropriate from Superstar is about the best you'll get for under £200.

Edit - ^^^ What Warpcow said.

Superstar Components have some amazing wheels for under £200, but most will only be disc compatibile now I believe.

Erm, probably the same again, a properly built wheel won't buckle.

Are yours buckled or do they just need trueing?

You could see what you could make up via Merlins custom options using a V-brake rim
