Re: Straight Pull Vs J bend, mix and match wheelset? (Pro 2

Thanks bobcatmax. Well part of my idea opening this thread was should I mix types of wheels. Now I'm considering a pro 2 sp up front, and a pro 3 sp out back from same shop, I'd end up with non matching rotors as I'm not using hope brakes. Hmm or I spend £35 more for 2 pro 2's. Hmm

I've got a couple of sets of the xc3 straight pulls, and some pro2 evos with j spokes.
Both are good wheels, the SPs are a bit of a bugger to true up (I'm slightly over the max weight).
Pretty sure the xc3/am4 only came in one drilling each. (I understand that they are designed to only need one spoke length for all four sides tho, so when I do rebuild, I only need to buy one box of spokes!)

And the green freehub is on all three sets. Which came from 3 different sources over the space of two years, I Have a feeling it may have been standard with Hope Hoops.
