like its been said you can't ahve all three.

the WTB lazerdisc might be an option or any of the WTB wheels there fairly cheap.

I have a pair of crossrides. They are not very strong. They are an overweight XC wheel at best. Personally I'd go with the Transitions.

You're still asking for the impossible. You want light and cheap but you still want an AM wheel that will take rocky terrain, small drops, some jumps, and resort riding. That would qualify them as strong. Since cheap in mandatory I say man up and take strong so it's not more expensive in the long run. The 32 Revolutions are around 2100g. If you go ghetto tubeless thats pretty damn light.

Yes the crossrides are weak. I wouldn't trust them further then I could throw them. Hell I probably couldn't throw them very far cause they are kind of heavy. Straight pull spokes does not = strong. Would you run Crossmax SLRs or I9 Ultralights for AM/light FR? I didn't think so.

Get the Transitions unless you're a wimp. If you're a normal 15 year old male there will be times when you push your luck more than you originally intended. Opt for stronger and go tubeless.
