Having recently toasted my rear wheel, I'm looking to invest in a new set of rims so I'm looking for recommendations for 29" that I can run tubeless and will also put up with a slightly clumsy 95kg rider! Durability over light weight is probably my priority.

Also interested to know where you get your wheels built as I lack the skills to transfer my existing hubs etc over.

Thanks

Wiggle have stans Arch EX rims for $70 at the moment. I just ordered a pair for my hope hubs.
I too am interested in where to get my wheels built in Newcastle

Good to know they're still on special.

Adrian at Belrose Bikes has done well by me for wheels in the past.

Stan's Arch will be a great choice....strength and tubeless set-up.

I bought a Shimano XT wheelset about a year ago for my hard tail. They're still straight as a die and I'm no super lightweight.

TWO WHEEL INDUSTRIES WOULD BE HAPPY TO BUILD YOUR WHEELS, TELL THEM YOU HAVE YOUR OWN RIMS AND HUBS AND THEY CAN DO THE REST.
