Alloy, wide-ish. Minimum 18mm ideally and tubeless compatible for the winter and bad weather. Easily serviceable. What's out there. Budget up to £150 or less ideally

Kinlin XR26RTS. Spa Cycles has them in 36h, cheaper too than Archetypes

I like TA, if only to guard against my laziness when fitting QR. Yesterday I was riding and my shifting at the rear was sh*t and constantly getting breakrub where I had neither problem prior to changing my pads around. Only realised last night the wheel wasn't seated properly. Didn't have this problem with the TA front. So TA to guard against user error FTW.

Just got a message re/ my wheels ordered that due to worsening EU-China relations, many cargo flights had been cancelled.
They did 'upgrade' to EMS shipping, but I wonder now when I'll get the wheels. Sigh

Still looking for the rear wheel/wheelset as above.

Winter road riding, smashing through potholes, looking for cobbled roads to bring back memories of cycling in Belgium and some canal paths when time allows.

Going to finally dive in to building up my own wheels in the near future, still finalising the seperate bits. Settled on Kinlin XR22RTS and Sapim Race, a pretty standard affair. Still deciding on hubs, I was going to go with Bitex, but wonder if I should save a bit of money and get Shimano hubs, like the 105 R7070 and put that savings into some nice tyres. What's the thoughts on Shimano hubs, or it the extra for the Bitex worth the £30-odd extra?
And would 32 F/R be overkill for this build for a 105kg rider like myself?

Photos added of the Giara jersey.
I write a blog, seems a bit of a dated way of doing things.
