Got about £300-400 to spend on some 700c disc wheels for my Genesis CDF which currently has budget shimano hubs and alex rims.
Don't know much about wheels (for example I thought it was all in the hub but he was saying the first thing to upgrade from this quote would be the rims).
I am 80kgs, bike has a rack most of the time, and is my only bike currently. As such, I use it for about town in Bristol where there are many pot holes, commuting all year round (only 4 miles each way), longer Sunday rides and 'gravel' rides. Might do the odd tour next year too. Will sport 35c tyres most of the time.
Been to my local wheelbuilder who was super sound/highly regarded and talked me through options and made some recommendations. Is this a solid choice? Any advice would be much appreciated please!
