suggestions on 29er wheel upgrade
I would like to upgrade stock, rather heavy, wheels. Looking for a light set that is durable. Thanks for any suggestions. The factory wheels are at 2200 gm.

OP: Think long and hard before sacrificing traction for weight savings. I was using Kenda SB8's on my rigid. I switched to a slightly larger Nevegal up front and it increased my control and comfort level to the point that my technical descent speed increased noticeably...with minimal loss in efficiency.
