turtlek Posted September 12, 2008 Share Rad go for the Xtr if you really like them because i think personally if you go for the one that looks better to you then you will enjoy riding them more personnally i would go for the XTR wheels for the bling factor but for overall longevity i would go for the XT wheels in the end its up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuy Posted September 12, 2008 Share Well the wheels will be going on my anthem so if I get XT I will have a full XT bike.... But maybe the XTR is the better buy??? I weigh 73kgs is it worth the R2500 extra???? If you have the R2500 extra IMHO yes. But it will be the start of the end for your XT group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted September 12, 2008 Share custom' date=' custom, custom.....but I don't think anyone's listening [/quote'] I am, but why would it be any different to getting XT wheels? Can you go CHEAPER and get a better lighter setup? (No Chris King punts please..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad006 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Maybe but I dont know which is better at the end of the day a factory wheel is a safe bet to work well and last long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainDura Posted September 12, 2008 Share I have crossmax slr's and have not had a days poblems with mine. Had them for 2 years now racing and training on them and they are still very very true. i do put wd40 on the nipples often and turn the spokes/nipples every now and then. They really are nice wheels. very stiff and very light. I also have serviced the freehub myself (easy job takes about 5 mins) 3 times in the two years and it is still as smooth as butter. That said i am looking to get a new pair of wheels to train on, and was thinking of the american classic hubs, ztr rims and revolution spokes. anyone have bad experiences on the american classic hubs (bearings) or the ztr rims (burping tires, tires to avoid, bad rims etc..)

Marius Posted September 12, 2008 Share I bought my set of AC's secondhand and have done a couple of races on them and really impress with them! I had a set of custom wheels before these, DT Swiss 240's hubs, DT Swiss Comp spokes and DT Swiss Rims, lasted about 2years before the rims were done. As far as I can tell Factory wheels are just as good as my customs I had done at CRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted September 12, 2008 Share custom' date=' custom, custom.....but I don't think anyone's listening [/quote'] Hope Pro II Hubs with DT Comp spokes and ZTR Olympic rims (with red alu nipples for good measure). OK, the alu nipples dont add much for durability... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
