I was about to replace my 2013 Enduro Comp 26", when I realized that I really like this bike and my only complaint about it, is that it's heavy. So, I have been upgrading the snot out of it and lightening it up considerably, this week. It weighed 35.8 lbs last week, with my pedals, tool bag, pump and water bottle holder attached. I have already dropped over 4 lbs, with the help from reading all the posts on this thread. Now I am ready to replace my wheels. I am going to go for the light-bicycle carbon wheel set, mostly because of the weight and very low price.
I would love some help configuring the right wheels for my Enduro Comp 26". I clicked the BUY button and started assembling the wheels. And I am not sure about some of the configurations.
Weave: What the heck is that? Holes: What's the trade off between 28 holes and 32? Spoke: Which is better? Hub Brand: I have a 1x10 Sram step now but may go to 1x11 XD-Driver later on. Which one would be better suited?

Thanks for any and all input.
Are you trolling?
Weave is just the finish. Unidirectional looks best.
Go 32, if you break the rims and want to sell your hubs, it'll be much easier.
Weave - just the finish of the carbon as far as I'm aware. You can go for matte or the layered finish.. No difference in terms of rim strength, just aesthetic.
Go 32 for spoke count. Much more choice in terms of Hubs and the strength/stiffness gained is worth it for a little extra weight.
I'll leave the spokes and hubs to someone else as I'm not familiar with the LB site and what options there are
