Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

Rando indeed.

If i have my old hope pro 3 hubs and want them rebuilt to a carbon light rim but with an aluminium track what options do i have?

Choice of widths available for all these

Am thinking of trying to find a wide road rim that can be run with road tubeless tyres. What are the options that are designed for disc brakes?

Stan's Grail?

utfs

Re the Grail - a few wheelbuilders I know aren't fans of stand rims due to lack of eyelets. I had a stans crest crack at the rim.

Hed Ardennes plus disc looks like a contender but pretty pricey.

are you using yours tubeless?

No.
Pretty happy with my open pave tyres right now. Don't see the need to switch.
Don't think there is a good tubeless option for low rr. But happy to be corrected.

pacenti cl25 from planet X - light rims, eyelets and tubeless. £35 but 28 holes only - great rims

Have you got 23 or 25; bought some 25 GP4000 and now wondering whether they will be too wide?

Would consider tubeless Schwalbe One for the ride to Istanbul. @HoKe price matched them for something ridiculous.

Tubeless for Dummies

i weigh a lot, and the bike is often heavily laden too, so probably need 32 hole 3cross lacing

Check out the dt swiss website they have lots of eyletted rim for the road available.

Are these any good to replace my current stock Giant wheels. Mavic Ksyrium Elite S 700c 2015 Wheelset - Red - Shimano

From what I've read on here, there seems to be a consensus that complete Mavic wheelsets are over-priced when new.

they do come in 32 holes just not at the planet x bargain price...I run them with schwalbe one tubeless 28mm tyres and they are great

25c vittoria open pave. Come out at 26 on my 24 wide belgiums.

Brace yourselves, this could be a long one...

I've a set of Bontrager race lite TLR wheels (20/24) which have been pretty decent; reasonable weight, wide rim etc. However, the bearings and rim on the back wheel are dead and the front rim is on its way. I'm a bit torn as to what to do - I want a decent aluminium brake tracked wheel set for 'good' i.e. wet racing and big mountain trips.

The simplest solution is to get new rims from bontrager for £50 each and 455g rear/465g front plus spokes (straight pull - 298mm rear and 290mm front) - Trek sell them 10 for £25, any suggestions of alternative sources welcome, I've trawled all the usual sites but to no avail.

The light weight alternative is Ryde Pulse Sprint rims (£72 each) built onto the Bontrager hubs, although I'm concerned I may be opening myself up to a spoke nightmare going down this route. Cheap ebay novatechs would possibly be a better option than reusing the Bontragers.

Then I started thinking about dropping the light weight and blowing the budget with some 24 or 38mm Yoeleo or Farsports carbon/aluminium rims again either on the Bontrager hubs or Novatechs - I'm guessing the shorter spokes required with deeper rims would be easier to source than those for the shallower rims.

I've got 65mm Knight carbon clinchers for dry racing and general big deep wheel fun and 32hole Archetypes on Ultegras for general training and winter. I've given up on tubs for the moment or I wouldn't have bought the Knight and stuck with my ENVE 6.7s (which I still need to sell) and would probably get something shallow and full carbon.

Any input gratefully received to either help make a decision or further muddy the waters! I take it Yoeleo pricing is in USD and Farsports will be similar cost?

personally i'd ditch the hub and build up the ryde rims on novatecs or similar, using standard j bend spokes, much easier in the long run

Hey buyers... where's the cheapest place for HPlusSon Archetype 32H. They're going on the winter/commuter to replace the cheap and cheerful Powertap wheelset currently on it.

Hubjub? £98 a pair delivered.

@hippy I've got a pair of 32h archetypes, ano grey version, I was going to return them as they are slightly different shades of grey but I've left it way too long - you can have them for £80, I'm based in N1

Spanks for the info.

Cheers but the bike is black and blue (to match its owner, err, I mean CS Grupetto colours) so I don't think grey will cut it.

You tart.
