    A lot of the local racers use Industry Nine wheels or Crank Brothers Cobalts.

    I have a set of the Industry Nines that i got as a bday present from DH last year (yes, I am spoiled). These are NOT inexpensive, but the ARE light and have been great for racing and riding. Mounted studded tires to them this winter for ice/snow riding and didn't have a problem.

    I REALLY wanted the ones with pink spokes, but that was out of my price comfort zone, so I have the black .

    +1 for Industry Nine

    I switched from the stock DT Swiss-es that came on my bike to the I9 Ultralites and went tubeless at the same time: dropped a pound off each wheel. My riding, yes, improved dramatically.

    And that hub! Oh my goodness, the engagement is instantaneous.

    They are *not* cheap, but I have never never never regretted the purchase.

    -- gnat! (the pink spokes make you go faster, too)
