Plea for help on 'gravel' wheels
For 7 months I have had a singular peregrine sat gathering dust in the corner of my room. I have not had the money/time/effort to sort this for various reasons
Anyway, sun is coming out, and I had everything for it other than wheels. I would like to buy wheels through someone that does cycle scheme (to save £££) and then get it built by the wonderful local mechanic I use in Bristol. He is giving me some advice too and will do spoke calcs I think.
After some advice on what I should get and from where.
Can clear max 622x55mm (29×2.1”). My requirements are
1) 700c
2) decent front dynamo (keep hearing son if the only real option)
3) ability to run 35-50c tubeless tyres - to go from 'gravel' to audax as location and riding changes.
4) strong!
Cheers
