New wheelset - for commuter/CX/training bike

CramCycle · 03-08-2022 10:10PM #1

So my wheels with my CX bike have repeat issues. I am going to buy a new rim and spokes and get the rear one rebuilt but unlike my road bike, I have no spare wheels and have realised how annoying that is for a bike i commute and do CX races on. So I don't want to get caught out and not be able to commute or race over the winter months.

Narrowed it down to two sets of HUNT wheels but open to other suggestions: https://eu.huntbikewheels.com/products/gravel-race-wheelset?variant=37207283335360 or https://eu.huntbikewheels.com/products/hunt-30carbon-gravel-disc-road-wheelset-1469g-30deep-27wide-999 but open to other suggestions, the lifetime crash replacement was a nice sales pitch from HUNT for me but am not tied to them.

Recommendations welcome.

Zipp 303S also have a good warranty and can be found for under 800.

If it was me I'd be finding a set of DT Swiss C1800 on sale however

I'm going for the Alloy hunts. They are far cheaper than the Carbons for very little weight penalty. I can't do hookless as I still use tubes. The DTs look great but the weight penalty is too much for me. A personal thing I know but it would be important to me.

On an unrelated note, for Weepsie, on my look for wheels, I have found tons of QR Disc wheels, bike components has a load of them, IIRC you are always lookinf for them.
