A Hope Pro2 and a ZTR rim

Doesn't get any better than that! Go and do your research and see why Stan's Notubes ZTR rims are hugely popular in the USA. Then let me build up your perfect wheelset.

It's got to be Shimano XT, XTR or DT-Swiss 240s hubs.

Other rims and hubs

The only other rims I might be persuaded to build are Mavic XM819 and EX823. No road wheels and no other hubs other than those listed.

Stans ZTR Olympic and ZTR 355

Built with DT Revolution silver spokes, silver aluminium nipples. Supplied with Stan's Yellow tubeless tape and tubeless valve stem. These are super light XC wheels. There are no comparable rims from other manufacturers, these are unique in their lightness. ZTR Olympic is the popular choice in the UK but over in the USA (the home of Stans rims) the slightly wider ZTR355 is more popular. My recommendation: ZTR Olympic for lightweight racers, ZTR355 for aggressive racers where the wider section gives more stability in cornering. Both weight the same but the Olympic with the slightly deeper aero profile looks more racey.

Add £5 per wheel for black Revolution spokes.

Stans ZTR Arch

Built with DT Competition silver spokes, silver brass nipples. Supplied with Stan's Yellow tubeless tape and tubeless valve stem. These are light, strong wheels for all types of XC riding. For comparision purposes the nearest equivalent rims are the DT-Swiss 4.2D and the Mavic 717 and Mavic 719/819 although the Arch is a lot lighter, especially when running it tubeless.

Add £5 per wheel for black Competition spokes.

Add £10 per wheel for black DT SuperComp spokes.

Stans ZTR Flow

Built with DT Competition silver spokes, silver brass nipples. Supplied with Stan's Yellow tubeless tape and tubeless valve stem. These are light, very strong wheels for all types of XC and XM riding. For comparision purposes the nearest equivalent rims are the DT-Swiss 5.1D and the Mavic 721.

Wheels are supplied without skewers except for Shimano XT and XTR. Hope hubs are available in all colours, Black and Gunsmoke are standard stock items, other colours can be obtained.

All in stock, quick delivery.

ZTR Tubeless notes

The wheels are supplied tubeless ready, all you need is a suitable tyre and some tubeless sealant (not stocked by Wheelpro). If you don't want to run tubeless just take out the valve (and keep safe) and run with a normal inner tube, when you fancy a go at tubeless just pop the valve back in.

Remember, if you buy Mavic or DT-Swiss rims and plan to run tubeless you need to mess around with tubeless conversion kits (that cost money). With ZTR rims they are designed for tubeless out of the box!

After-care

Wheels correctly built do not need retensioning. Just go out and ride!
