Retro mtb tubeless wheelset

Post by Leerowe76 »

Firstly I don't know if there's any retro nuts in here !! but the 94' Gary Fisher I've got would benefit from a set of 26" QR tubeless rim brake wheels if anyone could recommend a set to keep in with the retro theme that would be ace, if not what you reckon should I go for ?

I'd go with Mavic 717 (or 317) for my retro iron horse (and have previously)... 717 were cutting edge at the time and light and strong as you needed to/could go
