My wheels.

Okay, i'm really tempted by the XT hubs with DT 5.1's pair of wheels on merlins for œ125. I am wondering what it will improve, tbf my current ones that i've been running for a year and a half are slightly bent, rather cheap and not that well sealed. Is it worth it?

What type of riding do you do? If you're into freeride/downhill/non XC riding, usual recommendation seems to be Mavic EX721 on the best hubs you can afford.

sush you! The DT 5.1s are just as strong as the Mavic EX721 well the seem it, you can't deny DT been awesome. Plus i want to know WHY to upgrade.0

Because this is a set build for the œ125. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=10372 also seems the same application of what i do, and damn good for the money.0

Lighter, stronger, quicker engagement.
All winners for accelleration and durability.

well rrp for a pair of rims is œ90 a set built on xt hubs at œ125 is an awesome price. cant fault my dt 6.1d's so far go for it0

would they make my bike feel any more stable? just wondering because my bike does seem a bit unstable compared to my friends. Would the wheels improve this or is it the frame?0

I've heard of some wheels being a bit flexy but its hard to tell without riding them. Tyre choice and suspension set ups are a lot more influential when it comes to skittishness.
