WTB: Lighter carbon 29er wheelset for lady friend
XD Driver. Something lighter and snappier than the RF Arc30s on her Hightower would help her some....maybe?

I have a pair of 100/142 reynolds carbon rims. Super light. Removable end caps. I think you can convert to boost?

What’s the budget and target weight? Here are some options in Pocatello and Provo. I’m guessing the syncros are overkill, but at least you don’t have to check spokes.

Hmmm, kinda hate dealing with and buying different endcaps, but for the right price.....do you have any more info on these? What hubs?
Those rovals may be the ticket. Not sure she is ready to stomach $1000-1500 wheels, but the wheels are almost the most important part in my opinion and shes got a $5000 bike anyway with some pretty crap wheels.

If you're going to spend > $1000 I'd just get the Roval Carbon wheels new. Lifetime-ish warranty for $1350.

Just went through the same thought process for my wife's bike. Ended up having BTLOS build up a set for her. Made the order April 4th and they showed up today. 1430 grams for 27.5" 30mm internal width rims laced with CX-Rays to I9 hubs. $1450 and 3.5 year warranty.

Absolutely true. Wolf Tooth makes the Boostinator conversion kits for I9 and DT that include axle endcaps and rotor spacers. I think there are others like MRP also.
That said, if you're gonna shell out for some blingy wheels, I prolly wouldn't wanna deal with that stuff. It also negates the (possibly negligible) benefit of wider hub flange spacing for better spoke bracing angles.There's nothing better than sliding down snow, and flying through the air

WTB: Lighter carbon 29er wheelset for lady friend
Yeah, it may be a little science project to get dimensions right if you’re boost. I had them on a Niner hardtail with qr. they come with TA endcaps. Reynold hubs HG driver. 600 shipped or delivered to Bozeman. I will even throw in the Bontrager tires mounted on them.
Were they rebranded I9 hubs? Mine look like I9 but say Reynolds on them.

I have some of the Stan's CB7 wheels I'm looking to move.
Crest CB7 Front
Arch CB7 Rear
Ridden by my wife's bike (110lbs rider) and thinking $500 seems like a good deal. Boost spacing.

Edit: looks like they’re sold
Another wheelset just listed south of SLC. I think he’s a little off on the specs assuming they are the last generation Control Carbon. Should be 25mm internal and 1610grams.
2020 Roval Control Carbon $500

Roost Wheels i28XC or i31AM
There is no other answer for that price range. The good news is that they are awesome wheels and a great company.
