I spotted these on CWC which are a little more than i'd like to spend but have no idea on the quality?

24 spokes on a 29er wheelset is NOT something I'd advise, as per their website.

The rapide set would be way way better and 32 spokes.

 

Seriously, 24 spokes on anything larger than a kids' bike and you're asking for trouble in my view, unless the rim weighs a ton.

Exactly. Like I said, after 11 months of merciless riding, my Rapidé wheels are still going strong.

Rapidé R29 (Rapidé R21 rims) - 21mm internal, 26mm external

 

Rapidé TR29 TrailRacer (Rapidé R25 rims) - 25mm internal, 30mm external

Thanx!

The TR29 looks really nice, with not much weight difference
