i'd like to upgrade the wheelset on my motobecane fantom 29er to something lighter that i can run tubeless, along with a set of different tires. i've got a fat bike now for muddy days so i'd ideally like to optimize my 29er setup for speed on dry dirt and gravel.
i'd also like to take a crack at building the wheelset myself. i have a nice LBS that will help me out if i screw things up and i need a new project that will distract me from buying other toys...
any suggestions for a setup? any tips for an intermediate wrencher, first-time wheelbuilder?
budget - shoot for 500, less preferred, tires not included.
