DubbelBuys Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 OK - I haven't yet got the frame & will update soon with pitchas (otherwise it didn't happen ) on the build once I got my SHOVA frame. I weigh 91kg with kit & looking at some decent wheel sets (well - in the R4000 region) I've been told the Easton's are pretty good, but I read some bad reviews on mtbr that the rear hubs (Easton Haven) are weak & unreliable. Have been looking at either the Easton Haven (more an AM wheelset, but only 1650g) or perhaps The Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs on stan's flow rims? (Which is slightly cheaper) Any thoughts to share on these? or other recommendations?

Breezer Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Mavic Crosstrail any good?I have a set and can not fault it. I use it on a 26 hard tail and it has taken a lot of punishment. Just have the free body serviced every 1000km or so.

Hairy Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 So how much are they asking you for the hope wheelset?
