What's the best single speed 29er wheelset for as little money as possible?
Thanks

Obviously the ones Chris has but failing that I've had no problems with any of my Superstar wheels. The ones below aren't SS specific but they're a very good price (nothing a spacer set won't cure). They will build with SS hubs though.

Two sets of superstar switch/crest wheels here with no issues. I'd be tempted to just go for a normal free hub to give you more options.

I use some mavic wheels that were about £200. Pretty light by my standards and ride well. Not sure of the name (crossrides?) but for 10% of the wheelset value, I got a 3 years insurance via Mavic. Basically, if they cant fix your wheel within the 3 years, they give you a new one (apparently even if you trashed them through you own fault)

edit; they're not SS specific but I added some spacers in to use them singlespeed
