That's very interesting- what tyres are you going to run with the new ones?
What drilling did you go for? Did you get wheels, or rims and then build them?
I'm going to try using Vittoria Cross XG Pros with the new CX wheels. They're 32 hole (to match the cheap Hope hubs I got on eBay) while the 29er wheels are 28 hole on Novatec hubs, laced 2x, with Racing Ralph tyres. Just got the rims and built them myself, with DT Comp spokes for the 29er and CX-Rays for the CXer. Although I haven't built the CX wheels yet as there appears to be a worldwide shortage of 284mm black CX-Rays.
