Richard wanted a pair of wheels which would be versatile enough to be used on his rigid singlespeed and also 5″ travel full suspension.

I suggested the Pro2 hubs because of their ability to be quickly and easily converted from 20mm to 9mm front axles, and the rear hubs’ excellent freehub body and durability.

I laced them to Stans ZTR Arch rims. At 420g these rims are lighter than most DT Swiss and Mavic “cross country” rims yet have stiffness and strength way above their counterparts.

I used DT Swiss Competition spokes on the rear driveside and front disc side to add some stiffness, and lighter DT Swiss Revolutions on the non-drive and non-disc side to save some weight. All spoke nipples are red to match the hubs.

Total weight is 1690 grams (or 1716 including the tubeless valves and tape)
