Need advice. Need a wheelset for my Equilibrium.
First option was to go full bongo, Dynamo hub, Hope rear, the new Open Pro UST disc rims. Around about £450 all in - though the new Shimano RS505 CL Disc road hub could knock £100 off that.
Then I've seen wheels like the Prime Peloton Disc which seemingly offer pretty much everything you could want, apart from a Dynamo for 1/3 or 1/2 of the price of the other options.
The tart in me wants the handbuilts, but if I go for the Primes I could have the bike on the road a month earlier. At the moment I'm leaning towards handbuilts with the cheaper hub - can someone justify this/tell me i'm being silly?
