Thanks for replies:
Money not too much of an issue & I'm not going uber light seeing as I'm 103kg wet through
Obviously I could just drop 2 or 3 grand on some lightweight's which would work for me in terms of strength & obviously quality/lightness ( set is a about 1100 g the pair) but I want to be able to ride hard & not worry about what would happen in an accident.
Sure accidents are not good at the best of times but smashing 2+ grands worth of hoops would just be gutting.
The FRM hubs are 32s back & front, ideally I would have liked 32r 28f but beggers can't be choosers.
Will be using either CX ray's or DT aerolites but erring to the DTs as I've always used them and I can get them in red :o)
I've read about the stans and I don't think they are up to the job & read some negative comments also but will have a look at the others
Appreciate the input
