I had a pair of DT Swiss wheels on my old MTB with the 240 hubs & they were fine for 4 years & still good when I sold them, I also have a set of DT Swiss Mon Chasseral on my road bike, I think they are great wheels

But I must say when I upgrade my wheels on my current MTB I will go for the Hope Hoops, great wheels & great valve for money & british made

I'm looking for some MTB rims and disk hubs at the moment and the Hope Hoops have been getting a few poor reviews online?, but there are also good reviews (6 of one half a dozen of the other ?)
