I am getting into Urban riding and light Freeride, nothing extreme, but at the same time far from XC riding. I have a Deore/Sun Rynolite wheelset now, what is a faster rolling wheelset that is still drilled for shrader valves etc. Any advice is much appreciated!! JC

Faster rolling wheels? as long as they're tight (spokes, true, etc..) the rolling diff is going to be from the tire. Lighter wheels will accelerate faster, better barings will roll faster.

So anything with a hadley hub.. lol...

If you want decent wheels cheap - Azonic Outlaw, Transition Revolution..

Otherwise it's Hadley and your choice o' rim...

(At least the rear - anyone who makes a crappy front hub really sucks and should spontaneously combust NOW!)
