I cant remeber where I read this, but basically.

Strong
Light
Cheap

You can only pick two of those. For example you can have strong and cheap, or light and strong. But never all of them.

MAVIC 729 Disc

I'm running two pair, on my AM bike and on my DH bike; different spoke count though. Awesome wheels, IMO

Easton Havocs will fit the bill well. They didn't make the weight excessive for me on my Mojo when my LBS borrowed me some. Strong with reasonable weight.

such wheels don't exist... at best, you can get strong, heavy wheels for cheap, but that's about it...
