I have a pair of Billy tyres and they are great... Would recommend them
-
Seems like the most common sense approach
If anyone has recommendations for a wheel set which is
26” tubeless compatible
Disc
142 x 12
100 x 12
28 hole
Silver (if possible)Would be much appreciated
My mental limit is “a nice set of wheels? What about hope hubs? :)” and I have purposefully never learned anything about rims other than internal diameter.

The bars suit the Homer very well 👌
I think wheels have massive potential for skimming on weight.
Spokes add up if you have 64-72 of them.
Hubs vary a lot in weight.
Same with rims (but that’s already on your radar).
And I guess finally tyres. Especially the big ones.
According to r2 billy bonkers are 498gr while the similar (but slightly wider) MAXXIS DTH are 775gr.
That’s already over half a kg in difference.
Billy bonkers aren’t necessarily lightweight race tyres either.
