What wheelset?

[davidB]

first parts to go on the dawg supreme frame I got will be a wheel set after I install the headset/fork stuff.

Been looking around on jenson for something not too expensive and the

Mavic Crossride http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...AllReviews=y#5
Mavic Crossland http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Wheelset.aspx

both came up, plenty of reviews, favored a bit and i think i'd be comfortable going with either on a disc and 9spd when this is done, but the lack of UST on the Crossrides makes me wonder if I should go with those.

I'm sure someone here has either set, can you let me know how they hold up and what they're good/bat at. Thanks!

I'd steer clear of both. Get a handbuilt set with some DT 4.1 or 5.1 rims and Hope Pro II hubs

[Innes]

None of them are in stock and the Crossride with the 6 bolt IS mount will never be in stock.

I didn't know if you noticed that or not.

bret (guero) has a nice wheelset on his dawg consisting of DT 340 hubs? and dt 5.1 rims

[Rob]

Adrenaline sells the Crossrides for 199 last time I checked. They usually had them in stock too.

I'd invest a little more for something a little stronger.

You can also go with Shimano XT hubs and Mavic 717's for pretty cheap.

I have a set of crossrides hanging in our garage.

I rode them hard for about 18 months, and only one true on the back wheel is all that was needed during that time.

i've seen that combo mentioned a couple times on mtbr but the lack of bike knowledge i currently posses is making me question how a wheel is built and whether that's a DIY thing too.

However I like the Mavic 819 rims instead

Since you asked specifically about the Crossrides and Crosslands--I have the Crosslands and they are a sweet wheelset for the money. If you want to run tubeless you can. If you want to run tubes, you can.

I rode them when I weighed 270 lbs and never had them go out of true. I still run them on my HT and they are solid. Great wheels for the money--and you said you wanted to stay inexpensive. Beyond Bikes has them for $249.99 for the set: http://www.beyondbikes.com/BB/ItemDe...FAC%2DXlandSil

thanks man, it's either those or get the parts separaretly once i wrap my head around that issue

[davidB]

update: i'd like to go with

Mavic XM 819 Disc Rim Out of Stock $64.98 x 2 = $129.96 Hope Pro 2 Disc Hubs Front $75 Pro 2 Disc HubsRear, 32 Hole, 135mm Spacing $177 Total: $381.96

but that's nearly twice the cost of either of those two wheelsets, and doesn't include spokes or having the LBS build each wheel. I think i'll keep saving

I went with this setup and after all said and done, it ran me close to $500 w/ labor, spokes, etc

[davidB]

can you break down the cost for me a bit? thanks

I got the hoops for $50 ea(a deal through a friend)

Hubs were Fr/$75 Rr/$177 (Hope Pro IIs)

Labor was $1 a spoke (15/14/15 gauge DT Swiss + brass nipples)
and spokes were $1 ea if I recall correctly...

Call the Path to verify costs....

Grand Total= $480

[mcgrath]

The path hooked me up with Hope Pro2's with DT 5.1's. Give Tani a call.
