I need to upgrade my wheelset. I am looking for about 1700g or less. Price range of $300.00. I need a 6bolt IS. I am considering a FSA XC300. They seem to have a good reputation. Anyone know any killer deals?

THanks,:thumbsup:

you can get that fsa wheelset from universalcycles for around $320 (shipped) if you use their %15 off discount code.

These would be a good choice if you ride in a drier climate/conditions:

Plus you can buy these wheels directly from bob at his website:

I kind of wonder, though, if these wheels are too lightweight for AM riding... I'm considering them for a trail bullit. Am I crazy?

I guess Mark Weir used them in 2003 for a DH or Dirt Jumping ride:

Weir's sponsor is probably there to replace them per run. Is yours?

The reviews on this website look mixed, but sound good for smooth -not too heavy- riders.

But how about a Hope wheelset from them? Better?
