If anybody's got nothing to do, then you could have a look and find me another pair of wheels for my Scott Spark. I fancy having a spare pair set up with a "cross" or maybe even a "slick" tyre fitted so that I can give the bike a bit of road use or road/cross country use. As the Scott is so light I'm prepared to accept a bit of weight at a compromise over price, I'm no weight weenie and there's also that training effect............. Currently fitted with these......... Wheels: Mavic Crossride Disc Rims. Mavic Crossride Disc Hub [F]. Mavic Crossride Disc Hub [R]. Any suggestions _________________ Big wheels keep on turning, Carry me home to see my kin..............

To be honest Gunner the Crossrides are a very good set of wheels, if your not too fussed about the weight, then I reckon another set of crossrides would do the trick, with just slick tyres. I did have a look at some 'cross' specifc wheels but the prices are just silly in comparison to the crossrides or similar MTB specifc wheels, and they didn't look to offer any real advantages. You would have thought the sacrifice they make in strength would be made up by shredding weight, but no, the ones I looked at, speficially 'DT' where not much lighter and far more expensive _________________ Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da

The latter might be a better choice. Failing that I have just seen Mavic do some 'speedcity' wheels that are road/cross specific but that fit any MTB with or without discs, they might be useful considering your different bikes. They are a bit more pricey though, looking at £250 for a pair. _________________ Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da
