Hello,
I'm overhauling my 04 Stumpjumper Pro hard tail, and have decided to go with disc brakes, which means new wheels and hubs. I've been looking at wheelset reviews and wondered if buying seperate rims/hubs is a better approach?
If anyone has advise or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.
My budget around $400, and I'm a seasoned rider, no racing (anymore). I just ride for exercise and fun. My weight is about 160 lbs.
Thanks!
Ray

That said, should you go the route of new wheels, it would be very tough to build a set for what you've budgeted. Factor in 75 or so to build as well. There are a number of sites that have pre built wheels, like stock model take offs, that you could choose from. Wheelworld usually has some on there.
Yeah, i hear you about the age of the bike, but i do really like the frame. I'll check out Wheelhouse and see if i can find some pre built wheelsets.
