• Jumped on the Cycle to Work scheme and got myself first ever new (gravel) bike which I specced with Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels .

    Looking for a sound advice on alternatives to use as road set up with some 28-30mm road tyres - shall I get something like Hunt 4 Season gravel wheels and use Ksyriums as road or get a set of road wheels instead and keep existing set for those canal path rides? Other wheelsets recommendations for around £500 mark?

    O F... wrong section, sorry

  • Depends how marginal you want to get with a two wheel setup and how big you want the tyres for riding around the canals. You could quite easily do both on the Mavics with 32c tyres.

  • Thx (just realised posted question in this not general section 🤦‍♂️) - I'd like 40mm min for gravel riding, as may venture to some more rugged areas every so often. For road I was thinking 28 or 30mm max. Are Ksyrium SL viable option for 40mm or is better to go for gravel specific wheels with wider internals?
