Wheelset suggestions?

By malawele on 12/5/2007

I'm building my first XC bike (owned plenty just never built) and I'm
stuck on the wheelset I'm going to get. I've got just about everything
else, but I really need help on the wheelset. Currently I've been
basing my ideas off of www.mtbr.com
reviews. I'm not looking for the lightest set of wheels out there, and
I don't want to spend $800. I would prefer to keep it sub $400 range if
possible but if there was really good reason to go into the $500 range,
I might do that.

I weigh about 185 lbs and I'm a bit of an aggressive rider. My bike is
a Turner Flux (4 in the front and back.) Currently I'm looking at the
FSA XC-300 wheelset because they have good reviews on mtbr and they are
cheap! Would these be a good wheelset to go with? Or should I be
looking somewhere else?

Thanks!

Keep in mind that you can sometimes pick up wheels/wheelsets on ebay--new, even--at a lower price than you might be able to get from a retailer. While this is not without risk at times (i.e. if it shows up out of true...), it can also be worth your while if you're careful.
