Wanted Good condition 26" wheelset, preferably XT hubs (8 speed+, rim brake)

Might have something perhaps - are you looking for V brake or disc?
Rim brake, thanks. Amended the post
No problem. Sadly mine are disc only
Good luck with the search. I'm sure somepone will help you out!

If you're still looking I have a set of 80s/early 90s wheels with XT hubs that are rim brake.

I'm in NW London. Although I'm fine posting them if you're not local and don't mind the cost. Here's a link where I have the wheels up for sale on a thread over on the LFGSS site: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/395390/
But something I've just remembered is that the wheels are 7 speed, not 8 like you're after. But it's not a major issue as I actually have a spare one of the XT M732 hubs like in the rear wheel, so can take it's 8 speed freehub and replace the 7 speed one on the wheel, seeing as they're compatible. Will then just need to reposition the axle spacers to correct the fact that there will be a longer freehub body fitted.
