  • Looking at this for a tourer I'm building up:

    http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/atb-wheel-set-28700-c-mavic-a-719shimano-dh-3n80-deore-xt-780/aid:484616

    Seems good value to me, especially for a full wheelet. Is there any reason I should be going for a more expensive dynohub?
    I've also read that the a719 rims aren't that great though they seem like they're designed for exactly what I'd like them for.

    Edit: this deal seems particularly appealing considering I've just bought a rear wheel based around a mavic a319 for £80 (which I could easily return for free)

    A719 is fine, strong rims for moderately loaded touring.

    If you're gonna do heavy touring, then Rigida Grizzly.
