Need recomendation on new tires and wheels for my MTB

[Active Monkey]

I need to replace my wheels and tires on my Scott spark 50.

 

The wheels are still the standard ones it came with, just did a tubeless conversion.

 

I would like ones that are strong, lighter and not too expensive?

 

What are decent brands? ( i have no knowledge here)

Maxxis Icon/CrossMark

Schwalbe Racing Ralph SnakeSkin

Geax Saguaro (heavy but flippen strong)

 

All retal around R599-R650 depending on store or online order.

Summit Cycles can do the icon + sealant @ R650 per wheel for you. Good deal IMO.

If you have a 26" with a fox shock, why not go 650b

Damn that is a good deal...sealant is moer expensive and you use at least 50 bucks worth in a conversion if you buy the big bottle

it's a closet bike, not sure what it wants to be.

I had a Scott Spark 50 and put on ZTR Crest rims with Hope hubs and Racing Ralph snakeskin tyres and I was very happy. I've sold the bike but still have the wheel set. If you're interested, drop me a PM.

 

Today I have a Scott 29r with the same spec wheels.

Nope - Geax TNT as well as Ritchey WCS Shields are R450 online at the moment.

maxxis monorail front, crossmark rear

I am very happy with my Conti x-kings UST. No punctures for about 6 months now. Also comes in 2.4 -slightly heavy but nice up front...

[El Dodgius Bastardo]

I have a set of Fulcrum Red Metal 3's. LUST Crossmark on the rear, LUST Monorail on the front, both still in pretty decent nick. The hubs were serviced about 6 months ago and have been sitting in the garage pretty much since then. I'll let them go for pretty cheap.
