The rims are pretty solid, both wheels are dishless (nearly), and I'm only small. But none the less, they could only really be classed as lightweight XC wheels.
Hopefully the thin nature of the spokes and the build pattern will lead to a light weight, and compliant, wheelset.
My concern is the fact that the bike is fully rigid. I figure this could lead to the wheels getting a rougher ride. This has'nt been taken into account really.
I was tempted to go for DT super comps because...
A) they are thicker near the hub, which is good for disc brake set-ups.
B) they are thinner at the threaded end, which means a thicker-walled nipple, which is a good idea if using alloy nipples.
But I already had the correct lengh and gauge nipples (worse excuse ever).
