After some arse smashed the Ms.'s wheel last night I'm searching for a new set of hoops and have a couple of questions.
What is the big difference between disc hubs and non disc hubs and can disc hubs be used with standard brakes?
Mavic 221 or rhyno lite?
LX o XT??
I'd like to get these ordered today!!!!

Yes, disc hubs can be used with standard brakes. They just have mounts for the rotors in case you need them. XT is a step above LX. I like Mavic over Rhyno Lite but that's a matter of preference.

Everything that Dirtgrinder said, except that I prefer the Rhyno Lites and have had success with them. Both should do fine. Check out www.mtbr.com for reviews on both the rims and the hubs.
Thanks folks..
I spent WAY too much time on MTBR today LOL... I always check out that site before forking over any fun tickets.
I ended up going with the XT hubs on Mavic F519 wheelset. At $149.00 it was a few more coins than I wanted to spend but I think these should be good for another 10 years or so. I'm doing a trade :D with the wife.. she gets my old LX/sun chinooks and I get the new hoops. She was cool with it so aside from spending the $$$ were all happy here LOL
