New MTB Wheels

[Bathroom_Security]

Help me choose please?

27.5, preferably 30mm internal width. Shimano/Sram NX

Currently have Spesh Roval Traverse Alloy, they have taken a hammering in the last year, I've straightened them as best I can

I've just taken delivery of some old (2016 I think) DT M1900 Spline wheels for £150 but going to send them back, want a hub with more engagement and doesn't seem to make sense to buy all the tools to convert to a star ratchet

Top of my list are Industry Nine Enduro S Hydra

Second are Some Hope Fortus 30W with Hope Pro 4 Hubs. I understand these are DH orientated and 'heavy', but Ive spoken to people out on the trails with these double casing Hope wheels and they rate them as Bomb proof.

I am aware of the DT offerings but all appear to be out of stock

Thanks

The Hope Fortus are really not a trail bike wheel - that's the 36.

I would strongly reccomend a custom build (or build them yourself, it's not magic).

I've just upgraded my trail bike thsi year, Hoep Hubs for reliability and future proofing and DT Swiss XM481 rims - that's their trail strength 30mm internal rim, very good strength to weight ratio.

Another option would be the Stans Flow Mk3 at 29mm - however I would recommend DT rims due to their use of the "squorx" nipples which are lightweight, pre treated to maintain tension and make the wheels very easy to build.

Also, having read your post again, your dt Hubs should be easily upgraded to the 36tooth ratchet. Then just rebuild onto your rim of choice!

The current 1900 DT's use a 370, not sure on the older generation ones. Cant find any info about them anywhere. Just listed as Spline hubs
