That's my eventual plan. Get rid of my CX bikes and get a set of these for my Stumpjumper. Then next season hydraulics will have hopefully matured enough and use the same set. Probably not tubular though

Not the lightest, but a lot better then my original clincher wheels.

All I can say is that I really enjoy my Planet-X wheels and they are very very comfy (I think part if it because of the tubulars) _________________ Cannondale Bad Boy 4 (2012) Original weight minus 1541 Gram

Those wheels where clinchers by the way _________________ Cannondale Bad Boy 4 (2012) Original weight minus 1541 Gram
