Guys, In an attempt to 'add lightness' to my bike I think the main thing I should be looking at is the wheels. I currently have the standard Carrera wheels which I haven't weighed but am guessing they're not really that feather weight.
So I'm considering getting another set.
Will need to be 26", 15mm Front Axle and 9mm QR rear - needs to take a 10sp SRAM cassette and be 6 bolt rotor type. Tubeless ready would probably be a bonus as I'll probably give it a go at some point.
Ideally looking for something around the £100 - £150 region.
Any thoughts/recommendations? |

Been offered a pair of unused Mavic Crossrides.
Just need to see if there's a rear adapter to convert from 12mm to QR.

Wheels sorted should get 'em Monday or Tuesday.
Not sure whether to give tubeless ago with them.
Will I just need rim tape and valves?

The only trouble with stans and joes kist are the tyre stick to it and you can't use it again so you have to buy a new conversion kit so just use tape and an old valves or buy the new valves  I was just being tight after crimbo and wanted to see if the ghetto conversion works |
