What are you using it for? Full wheel build ie: hub, rim and spoke suggestions? You building it?

Need a little more info first.

If you want light good quality rims - Sun Rhyno lite XLs are the way to go. Weigh something like 520grams, and mine have survived very well indeed to my cack-handed riding. Not too expensive either.

Singletracks are ok, but heavier than Rhynos - plus they seem to buckle easily. MTXs are great, but again much heavier.

Don't mean to cause any offence to any one here runnign Halo SAS but my experience of them has been abismal(sp?) My mate bought one, week old and all the spokes had come loose and not in the normal bedding in loose, his freewheel moved up and down about 5mm and once he got it retightened it bent like chesse riding down stairs and no he wasn't the riding it hard or abusing it. Thats my thought anyway, I'd say go for Mavics, definetly 729s but if you on a budget see if you can pick up some old D321s.
