Well, I went to the London Bike show yesterday and asked the guys from Hope and they reckoned that their 1465g, 24 spoke, Pro 3 SP-XC6 with ZTR Crest rim wheels would be fine even at my weight.
They said they used them on their 5" travel AM bikes and never had any problems.
I certainly ain't gonna be putting them under the same sorta strain as riding that terrain would.
Just gone online and found a set for just over £300 too.
Bugger... indecision is a killer, so bought some carbon forks while I make my mind up!
