    Got something to sell me for the Weasel's HT? She destroyed her weightweenie wheels trail riding, bless her heart. :inlove::rolleyes:

    100mm x 9mm QR front, 135mm x 9mm QR rear. Doesn't have to be anything other than usable, tubeless potential and economical.

    TIA!

    26" getting hard to find...if you get nothing here, have you considered looking at Performance Bike? They often have stuff on sale for next to nothing.

    I'd let you have my daughter's 26" wheelset, but it's not tubeless ready that I know of, and she'd probably have a conniption even though she hasn't ridden it in a year.:whistling:

    I have a set of Mavic 819's laced up to a Hope Pro II rear and a Hadley front. I think I have adapters for the rear, but the front hub is a 20mm thru axle as it stands. Make me an offer if you're interested.

    When looking for anything mountain bike related you should always tag @scottay. Good luck with your search.

    I have a set of wheels that I barely used that really need to get out of my garage. SRAM X9 hubs and WTB rims. Currently have tires and avid discs on them. The discs are well used. No skewers. Not sure of the tubeless potential. I only rode them like five or six times, I think.
    I only paid $100 for them and would take almost anything to get them out of the garage.

    Got some handbuilt DT-540's with Onyx hubs. Durable if not lightweight...

    Many thanks to all of you for taking time to offer a solution. Extra thanks for your generosity.

    Jim/@Rumpled, that sounds like the right set for the project, and I'll take you up on it. I'll PM.

    You guys rock :thumbsup:

    Just following up with another nod to everybody who helped here. The lass is enjoying her resurrected HT with its new rollers compliments of @tortoise.

    Ever see a 9" dropper slide into a 11" seat tube? It's flippin hilarious! :thumbsup:

    Just an add-on as you're looking at Rumpled's X9... I have an X9 hub on an Arch that is going on 4 years old. It started life on the FS, moved to the Salsa geared and SS, and enjoyed many miles on the Santa Cruz. For a cheaper hub, it's pretty bomb proof. It's still going strong and is back on the FS. I have no idea how many miles that is, but it's gotta be upwards of 7 or 8 thousand with zero issues.

    Due to my impatience in wanting to build it, I grabbed tortoise's set (XT/Salsa hubs). But it's great to get a real-world assessment of economical gear! :thumbsup:

    I have a front Giant branded DT Swiss 240s on a DT Swiss E something rim. 26" barely used. Can't help you with a rear wheel.
