• Serious question time. I'm looking for a replacement gravel wheelset (okay maybe I should've have sold the DT R470!) that I can gravel with. Not too expensive. I'm thinking of something like:

    • Hope 20Five with Pro5
    • DT Swiss GR series wheels or similar
    • Fulcrum Rapid Red (dunno which ones yet)

    Hope and DT are a bit out of budget, Fulcrums are cheap but XDR freehub needed (another ~70 quid).

    Currently, I'm using those super lightweight racing alu wheels from Hunt with gravel tyres (think they're called Aerodynamicist 34mm or something). Defo not an ideal choice. I might even get rid of those if anyone's interested in a trade/swap.

    Edit: Not the biggest fan of Hunt having owned them now. Scribe aren't too bad.

  • Think I've not got two sets of G540s. One original pair with the Crux and one from (https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/395703/). The plan was to use one set on my partner's bike and send all the 650Bs to Poland but now it looks like the other way around so her old 700C wheels are on my Tripster and the 650B Hopes are back here for the Crux.

    So, now I want a set of 650B for her gravel bike and a lighter, faster, sexier set of road wheels for the Crux (if I sell the Mason I might just use those but it's staying for now)

  • Merlin are selling Fulcrum Rapid Reds 650b for very cheap. Not sure that's your cup of tea.
