So Santa filled my pot a little early this year, and it looks as though i need to get some wheels to enhance my riding experience.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've been leaning towards some hope evo3 hubs, maybe with stan flow rims or dt swiss...
I'm  a bigger guy and i ride over everything and off of most things.

Input please...

If you can direct me towards any deals, that would be cool too...

Pro2EVO hubs with Stans Flow rims.     Don't get the Pro3 hubs, they use a funny Hope 3 bolt rotor.

I did notice that about the Evo 3s. They are apparently quite strong though, so thats a nice bonus however i'm not looking to buy new brakes for the fleet b/c of some stupid bolt patterns.

So what are the other options?

Anyone have experience with Easton? i see the havoc set for a good price...

I've had good luck with Easton's and prefer straight pull to j-bend, makes for a stiffer wheel.

If you can't make the turns....take off the training wheels.
