Wheels for 700c disc road bike

[sayek1]

I am now exploring my own build options to get what I want - SRAM Rival Groupset with BB7 disc brakes.

What options do I have on wheels for discs? Budget is fairly limited (approx £300) so looking for some advice/options please?

The bike will be mainly (90%) a winter commuter plus one x7 day expedition next year traveling fairly lightly and all on roads.

I am looking at a Kinesis frame.

Anyone got any ideas?

I spec'd up my own wheel set which cost a wee bit over £200. When you by the BB7's make sure you get the road version, the MTB ones don't work with STi's, as I learnt the hard way...

not tried em myself so can't really recommend but these would appear to fit the criteria...

Thanks HJ. I've heard this on the BB7's - Chain Reaction look to sell the road versions.

If you are buying from Chain Reactions, you need to be aware that they don't label the MTB ones as MTB and these are the one which appear if you do a search for Avid BB7, you have search for road Avid BB7 to find them, it is all too easy to get the wrong ones.

yep, the MTB are black and red and the road silver and red
