• been looking at some new hoops for my summer bike - have to be alloy and rim brake. candidates are:

    • hunt aero race (proven pedigree but long lead time, 1479g £380);
    • prime attaquer (hunt-adjacent so probably good but kinda fugly, 1425g £330);
    • scribe race (same pros and cons as the prime's as far as I can tell, 1445g £360); or,
    • DT swiss PR 1400 dicut 21s (look v.good and you get DT swiss hubs, but they're spendy and the oxic coating may have questionable life, 1417g £730).
    • some handbuilts... ? need someone to spec something for me...

    someone please make my decision for me

  • You’re spending enough for good after sales service so yeah (unless you’re going to get into rebuilding wheels yourself) go for a hand built from someone who guarantees their work.

    Sounds like you’re quite particular about weight. I’m not sure Hunts really weigh what they claim. I expect these do. DCR and JustRidingAlong are good too.
