MTB Wheels?

[Novak]

Hi,I just want to know what you guys think of the following wheel set.

It will be Hope Pro 2 hubs with DT Swiss 4.2D white rims and DT Swiss competition spokes? It is going to cost about R6000 locally. Are there any other wheel sets that is better value for money?

 

Thanks

Not much will be better than that at that price...bullet proof wheels...

Great set of wheels but R6k sounds too much.

I know it is cheaper,but this is where I support the local market. If you need something in a hurry CRC is 4 days away,not your bike shop.

Icycling had Shimano XT wheels for R3500.00 not too long ago. I reckon that's worth investigating.
