  • Was considering a new set of wheels for the Ritchey, & since writing off the front one, I guess I've got to expedite this a little.

    After some wide-ish (suitable for ~40mm tyres), QR, sturdy disc CX/gravel/touring wheels. Either six bolt or centrelock. Shimano eleven speed freehub (would be nice if there was an XD option too). Don't really want to spend more than £400.

    I've been looking at these ones on Superstar, no idea about the hub though. I've got some Hunt wheels on the road bike too, so am considering another set of those as they're alright (though @Isaac_Jones said he could build me the same quality wheels for half the price).

    Anyone got any thoughts/experience?

  • Superstar are hit and miss. Bought a pair of wheels out their sale and the spokes are too short/don't reach the top of the nipple. Not overly concerned as they were £90 and went on my Dads bike (he rides <500km/yr) but wouldn't recommend for serious riding.

  • Cheers, will probably steer clear then. A friend had a bit of a nip-slip, with it falling into the rim the other day & seemed like a right faff to resolve. Don't want that!
