At some point I wish to upgrade the Groupset on the commuto x bike to shimano hydraulic shifters and 11spd mechanical. My Hope Pro 2 is not the 40t version so can't take 11spd cassette. Am looking to get a new set of Hope hubs, probably 32 hole. What rims would the hive mind suggest? Am thinking possibly Stans Grail or the Hope carbon rim - would like something that would work with a 30mm tyre (possibly even bigger) they need to be able to take my weight and sometimes heavily laden panniers too.
