Thanks for all the bananas
Hi all!
I thought I'd start a dedicated thread to annoy you all with on advice when choosing my first proper trail wheelset for my hardtail.
I have two wheelsets on my shortlist -
Nukeproof Horizon v2 - $629 delivered
Hunt Trail Wide - $709 delivered
My criteria are:
I don't do big jumps or smash through rock gardens at high speed, but I am 100kg so I would consider a rear insert!
PS. I emailed Josh at XLR8 - it looks like he plays in a higher price bracket but damn, some of his builds are mint!
