Best 29er Wheelset For R6000

[bikebum2.0]

Hi fellow hubbers

 

I would like to know what you guys think is the best 29er wheelset for between R6000 and R6500.

 

Thanks

I was looking at something similar recently and was convinced on the ZTR Crest with Hope hubs for around R5500...if you light enough for them.

Ztr crest is such an over rated wheelset (or rim rather)

It's like a VW polo, you see thousands on the road. IMHO

There must be a reason why they're so popular.

Hi. The American Classic wheel set would be my recommendation. I have a set of these in 26" and they are awesome.

Ciao.

So what would your recommendation be then?

 

EDIT: Popular and over-rated are different...

I have both AM classic race and the crest wheels , If I needed to replace either of the two sets it

will be with another ZTR crest wheels set .There are a lot of them out there because they offer the best value for

money and top quality .

The std set with Stan's hubs would be my recommendation , not the hope hubs.

My 2 cents

American Classic..awesome wheels..

[Ysterperd]

WTB rims - either the I19 or the I 23' with Hope hubs

[Ysterperd]

Loaded rims also an option especially if you want some bling

[Meentb]

Pm Eldron. He is the guy for citec wheels. Also a very good choice

American classic/Easton/Ritchey/shimano xt's/citec.....

(Note i'm not saying the ZTR crest is a *** rim)

Rider weight, and type of riding you will be doing on your hoops, needs to be taken into account.

I have never been disappointed in any WTB products I have owned. ..... and I tip at 125kg
