I was considering some Hope 20Fives, but I've had two friends who've had rim failures with those.
Ended up with these - Hope Pro 5 (4 for me as 5 wasn't out yet) on DT Swiss GR531 rims - £520.
The rims are much wider than 20Five rims & the wheels are still really true after a good year's bashing around.
Also agree withb @stelfox, had some Hunt wheels & the freehub gave out, then the nipples all corroded so they're basically useless now.

But I had to rebuild a rear wheel this past year because of cracking near the nipple on a 20five rim. They were well used, but bit ridiculous that they lasted not much longer than a rim brake rim. Allegedly the new (or soon to be released?) 20five rims are built better/wider.
But yes, just get Martin to build you wheels and problem is solved!

That was a problem, Hope have rectified this in their latest wheels.
