I've never been a big fan of factory built wheels, espacially for mountain bikes. There are so many odd ball design's with spokes that your local bike shop doesn't carry, hubs that last only a few months and rims that only fit there matching hubs. You really don't want to get stuck somewhere off the beaten track with a lot of these new wheels, let alone have to repair them.
So hand built custom wheel set's is something I've been doing for nearly 20 years. I prefer to use and recommend Hadley hubs. They are simple, easy to service, bomb proof and fast. Highest grade alloy bodies, titanium freehubs and very free spining bearings. This set of wheels has Bontrager Rhythm Pro scadium rims, 28 hole Hadley hubs laced up 2 x with Wheelsmith double butted spokes and alloy nipples. Stiff, light (about 1700grms) and fast. Tubeless ready.
