@Howard @Jon. Also interested in this question (maybe the wrong thread), buying prebuilt online (where?) Spoke choice?
Also considering a second wheelset after my commuter stole the rear wheel of my current spare set.
Running Hope Pro 2 to Archetypes, which I got from here 2nd hand for a good price. I would like the second set to be either ~as good, or am wondering how much I would have to spend to have something noticeably better. Have considered hunt £400 alloy or £1000 carbon (which depth), or bontrager affinity elite (not strictly tubless so would probably run with tubes) from evans on cycle to work. Whichever were 'better' would likely become the mainly road pair, so would be happy for them to be more fragile but lighter/more aero with the other set having a cx tyre on for rougher rides.
Am tempted by hope hubs again, mainly with the intent that it puts the rotor in the same place (does anyone know if all hope hubs have the same rotor position?).
Are Kinlin xr22t disc only? It would seem nice to avoid a brake track when one isn't needed and I would have thought one could get a better/lighter rim if happy to be disc only?
