I'll look into 317 rims, and talk with my LBS.
Now if those Hubs are XT- Rebuild the wheel with a stronger rim like the 317 and new spokes.
MTB hierarchy
Complete crap then
Deore-
LX
XT
XTR.
So why they term a lot of stuff as Deore-LX I do not understand.
There are others there somewhere like saint and other special use units but XT is almost as good as XTR- at half the price. Just like Ultegra and Dure Ace.
