Wheels....700c, Disc brake, QR, well-spoked

[vickster]

Looking for new wheels for Boardman team CX.
Disc brakes,
QR (many now seem to be TA),
under 2kg (stock ones are heavy lumps),
28-32 spokes
Need to take 32-35mm tyres
Under £300 (absolute max £350, can't justify more for a commuter/utility bike)

Any off the peg options, or should I just ask Spa to build me some

TIA.

I'm about to do the same. I'm looking at DT Swiss E1800. They can be QR or TA, which is handy as my bike has both...

oh those fat deep rims with writing
really don’t do it for me...no decals and slim classic rims

I have these on the Ti I think, might just go similar

They should come with the kit to convert to QR

Hunt four season gravel disc wheel set @ 1629g would be my choice. Maybe a slightly deeper section than you would like but the branding is pretty discreet.

Thx I found them. Aesthetically they’re not for me I’m afraid

Ta, probably a bit spendy given what I can get from Spa at same weight

I would certainly go for thru axle and use a converter as that way you future proof yourself.

I managed to get some Kinesis HD wheels, new old stock from ebay, at a good price.
These look reasonable, from Winstanley.

Why? I’m not changing the frame?

Not yet, but with your history of new bikes it is only a matter of time.

The new bike will come with its own wheels though (and this one would get sold with wheels)
I need them to simply bolt on, won’t want to be faffing with converters and what not

I’ll have you know, I haven’t bought a bike for 18 months...

 

[roadrash]

you must be about due one then

I do have one sitting in a basket on a website (and a friend who works for a company owned by a well-known bike company is enquiring about discounts )

tbh I’d have to sell at least one bike to accommodate and I can’t be bothered with the hassle!!
