• The Field is almost complete and I'm having a bit of a wobble on wheels.

    I was always going to go mega-bling and go Chris King R45 disc to ENVE 3.4 SES (slight discount possible via Field but still coming out around £2,100).

    However, having thought about it, I'm really not sure I can justify it and, in all honesty, whether there will be a justifiable appreciable difference between those, and much cheaper wheels (I have gone from good wheels to very good wheels before when I went R45 before and noticed a difference of sorts).

    I'm having a think about the Hunt clincher disc wheels which come in around the same weight as the ENVE set BUT I know nothing about Hunt except the reviews I read online.

    Does anyone have first-hand experience of these wheels? Also, I'm aware they're put together in Taiwan like a lot of other wheels so the romance of it being a British company is a non-point!

    @amey et al?

  • How about building a set yourself?

    I'm going to rebuild my commuter with deep crabon from light-bicycle rims later next month. If you get some CK hubs and lace them to that?

  • It's what I did before (light bicycle laced to Chris King using good spokes; marvelous wheels).

    I think it'd work out more expensive mind (than Hunt).
