rims
Suggestions for new rims?
I'm looking to ugrade the rims on my 2008 Trek Fuel EX-7. The bike came stock with Bontrager Select rims which have held up fairly well but they are relatively heavy and I have had to replace a number of spokes on the rear over the years.
I want to get something Tubeless compatible, sturdy enough to suit my occasional dodgy line selection in around WA trails but light enough for racing club rounds and/or enduros.Budget would be limited to under $1K for the wheelset.
Thoughts & suggestions?
Cheers,
Chris.
Wheel Build
Hi guys,
After folding a front wheel I am looking to get a decent set built up to suit general use, XC, 100kg rider, 29" wheels.
I would welcome comment please on:
- Local(ish) wheel builder
- Ballpark cost to build (excluding parts)
- Most economic way to source rims/hubs/spokes
- Any other recommendations
Thank you all.

Slicks for my 29er MTB
Hi Gang, I want to get another set of wheels for my 29er mtb and put a set of slicks on them - I love it so much I dont want to ride my roady anymore! 
Any recommendations for a good quality strong set of rims and also good slick tyres?
Also, slightly off topics, I put my Woodford to Glenbrook ride up on www.videotime.com.au for those of you who are interested. 58 mins ride time.
Cheers
