Best Sub $300 XC Wheelset
Can someone recommend a good disc brake, 6 hole 26" wheel set that comes in less than $300?

I have a set of CrossRides and just bought a set of Red Metal 5's. I can only comment on what I have ridden but I have to say the there is no comparison, the CrossRides feel 10 times stiffer... there is a GREAT DEAL on the crossrides right now, $89 bucks at competitive cyclist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy these and feel really good about it.

I am also curious?

Further, will these work on my 2010 wahoo disc? It looks like I could save 400-500 grams.
