I was going to use a couple of mis matched rough wheels but as the frames new the build price is creeping up(as ever)

100mm front 120mm rear

I'm sub 70kgs and not harsh on kit :)

Halo aerotrack front(need braking surface) Aeroage rear ? 1900g £140

Miche xpress are cheap but heavy :(

Not wanting superlight but be nice to keep bike nimble and light :)

What do you guys recommend ?

otp at that price tends to be heavy..

novatec hubs, alpina butted spokes (cyclebasket) and kinlin rims? lace them yourself, take it to the shop for finishing

Perhaps look at Novatec hubs, Sapim spokes on H Plus Son Archetype rims? Depending on where you get them built may well come in on budget (just)?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
