Wheels are for a disc brake build.
I did clock those but they don't quite do it for me sadly. Useful to end up on the RBW website though, lots of good options there.
Keeping a look out on other forums too, but ideally want the wheels to hand when the frame arrives so I can actually get to riding it. I think this discussion is sending me down the custom route over some carbon Hunt's which is useful, at least this morning it is.

I'm sure there are good wheels on eBay but I'd always rather buy from a forum. I've bought a couple of sets on YACF and done loads of miles on them with no issues, and good ones come up on here all the time. Main thing is to find out the history and reason for sale.
Do you want disc or rim brake? If that latter, I had a quick look on here and these came up. If I could justify another set of wheels I might go for them myself.

I bought a set of Ultegra wheels off YACF in the Autumn for £100 and am using them as my winter wheels (I needed them as the guy off eBay was fixing my other ones!). They have been great. I'd be happy to use them for a road event. On smooth tarmac they'd most likely be faster than a set of high quality gravel wheels. Something with deeper rims would be faster still though. And you could sell them for not much less after to put towards your gravel wheels.
