one final question before my big buy,
im buying the 456XT and in the customise section i have a choice of 2 wheelsets
.http://www.on-one.co.uk/b/q/CBOO456XT/on-one-456-xt
one is the shimano MT15 disc wheelset
and the other is the on-one 26er wheelset
there is no diffrence in price between them when buying the complete build and was wandering if anyone has any experience with either set to help me make my choice.
thanks AGAIN :D

    The MT15 set is 200g lighter than the On-one. But the On-one wheels seems to come with upgraded Nevegal tyres which is nice.
    I would prefer the MT15 as they look a bit better than basic OE On-one stuff and are likely to be reliable.

    I had a set of the previous model to these wheels and they were rubbish. They were heavy, flexible and lasted me 7 months before they were destroyed and had to be replaced.

    I had some new wheels handbuilt by merlin and havent looked back since, they were abit more expensive but it was totally worth it interms of quality and strength and knowing they'll last me a long time.
