Any question answered...

Just got back from a great mountain biking trip to Afan. My Reba forks held up really nicely, so thanks to everyone on here for the advice about those. I think that some of those descents would have been really unwise on the old Dart bouncers.

Most of the other stuff held up pretty decently on the trip, considering that the bike has some pretty entry-level parts. The front hub is pretty much toast though, really grindy. Also the rim has a little kink. As they're no-name, heavy OEM parts I'm thinking about a new wheelset. Was looking at Hope Hoops. What do people think? Is it worth choosing a stronger rear rim as I have a hardtail? What rims are a good bet for a ~85kg rider? Are there any better options for wheels?
Will they still make that lovely angry-wasp noise?

85Kg isnt that heavy (I hope).

If you want something light'n'fast.

Personally I'd get some Hope ProIII hubs and lace them to some Velocity P35 rims, with super comp spokes. But I have a thing for wide rims at the moment.
