Searching for some disc wheels for an upcoming build. My initial thought was to buy some Superstar 29er wheels as I've got 2 pairs and they've been good, however, I'm thinking they might be a little overkill for what I need. I've spotted Shimano are doing 700c disc wheels that can be had a a fair price, anyone got any experience or opinions of them?

Is there anything else out there I should be looking at? Limited budget though

Ive just bought some other cheaper wheels off him and they seem very good, although not as light as my older fulcrums

2165g the pair on those Shimano wheels. I think you could get that down a bit without sacrificing strength too much.

I hadn't actually looked at the weight :? ... think I'll keep searching.

I recently bought a pair of these

(though can't afford spokes to build at the moment)
Are they too light and racy for your purposes?

I've got a set of Bontrager SSR Discs. They are reasonable quality and a reasonable price, seem pretty strong. They're not all that light though...
Work well for commuting duties mind.
In my defence, there was very little on the market available when I bought them.

Can anyone tell me what type of bearings Mavic use - cup and cone or sealed cartridge?
