WTD - 40/50mm deep rim brake wheelset

My rear rim had a crack in it and the front brake track is quite worn, so I'm looking for something to replace them with.
Currently I have alloy rim with carbon faring which I like from a practical standpoint, but also open to carbon. I ride the gravel bike more often these days so not looking to brake the bank.

Also open to a cheap rear to complete the set as well.

Let me know what you have!

i have a bitex + light bicycle pair of wheels that are spare. i think they are 50mm deep
20h/24h
cx rays
very wide (30mm), tubeless ready. best used with 28mm tyres.
very decent condition.
comes with one spare rear cxray spoke as one broke at some point.
260£

Very interested, would they work with 23/25?
It's an older frame and the max they will take is 25mm not sure about on a wide rim.

i have used 25mm continental 5000s with them, and was happy enough. it leaves the rim more exposed, in case of puncture ? some people will worry about it, some won't. tubeless should prevent a sudden deflation.
my caad didn't take more than 25mm in depth, but width was ok, i was with durace 9000 calipers.

Thanks, I'll DM you.

If you're not averse to tubulars, I've got these lovely 60mm hifi wheels https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/377656/#comment16605022

I am averse to tubulars I'm afraid!

I'm also looking for something similar, so anything @cjr doesn't want, send my way!

Less bothered about depth would just like a set of carbon tubs without breaking the bank.

I also have a friend looking so keep them coming!
In discussion with Glws but they may be slightly too wide so interested to hear what else is out there.

i also have a pair of new carbon Light Bicycle rims 28mm wide, roughly 28mm deep.
20h 24h i think.
also have pairs of hubs for this, dt240 or bitex

I have some 24/24 50mm carbon clinchers you can have for what it cost me to build them (£200), they're old-school width (20.5mm), with DT Swiss Competition spokes and Miche Syntesi hubs, Campagnolo freehub
I would say they've done no more than 300 miles but I've just got some new hubs so am ready for another project. I can throw in my used swissstop yellow pads which is all that has been used on them

I've got a pair of Spokesman/Carbonal 38mm rim brake wheels, 20/24h on Novatec hubs with CX-Rays.

27mm wide (max), 25mm at the bead. Race/TT use only, so VGC!

What rim is that pls?

Chinese carbon clincher sold by https://dymag.com/ on eBay. I think they attempted at the bike wheel market and then sold off their stock when it didn't work out.

Actually they're 60mm, I just checked the receipt, apologies for the confusion

Yes, they look deeper than 50 mm. Are they set up tubeless?

And as you say, the vendor appears to have exited the pushbike market

No, they have tubes, no mention of tubeless compatibility so I'd assume not although tyres are a snug fit so with sealing tape they'd probably work

Did @cjr take these?

no, he went old school :)

I'll DM you.

Not old old skool!
