XTR/Bontrager Valiants (http://www.bicyclebuys.com/Items01.asp?NavID=search&searchterm=Bontrager&searchcategory=137)

$219.99

XC only on my hardtail. MTBreview has some good things to say about the Valiants. I have a set on Selects now and have not had any problems out of them.

Any info would be great.

Seems like a good price to me w/ the xtr hubs (though no disc available?) though who knows how they're laced up. Seems decent to me but then again i don't know a whole lot about wheels.

great hubs + great rims + great build = great wheels

without a good build a good rims or hubs mean nothing

sorry yes, assuming great build.....
but at least they are std components so a retuning is always possible without to much difficulty.
Don't you just love hand built's
