Some advice please... I'm looking at replacing the wheels on my hardtail. My favourit riding is mostly trail riding and singletrack type stuff, and I'm a heavy guy, so I need something fairly bombproof, but at the same time not full on downhill wheels (i.e. not weighing a ton)

 

I'm trying not to break the bank. Some options I've spotted on CRC:

 

Azonic Outlaw set - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=8871

DMR Comp front - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22972

DMR Comp rear - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22973

 

Or, I'm thinking of going for one of their custom wheel builds, with either nuke proof generator or fire eye excelerant hubs, but have no idea what rims to add to those (I quite like the Fire Eye Excelerant and Spank Subrosa rims but the spanks are a bit more expensive)

 

Locally, I've also spotted these On-Ones: http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.za/pON%20ONE%20MODEL%20D%2026ER%20WHEELSET/On-One-Model-D-26er-Wheelset.aspx

 

Any advice or opinions?
