Prices of these seem pretty good

Need some cheap gravel wheels. The 'road' ones probably look fine as don't want straight pull and they look quite wide rims
Anyone got them. Any issues?
Or any better options out there? Next best option on my radar is probably some Fulcrum 900 which I've had in the past and been fine with until the bike got robbed!
Cheaper DT would interest me if not for the bladed spokes being so good at catching sticks
I know of someone who had a set and the freehub lasted about 1 ride. The Prime wheels from CRC are decent.
I've RDA2 wheels, rolling on Shimano hubs.
They're now three years old. They were nice and tight when the bike arrived. Noticeably lighter than the other gravel wheels we've had. I've once checked spoke tension, it was fine. They are still true, still tight, no rim dents, no issues at all.
This on G2P gravel bike, I'm 90kgs, carry panniers and do ride it off-road.
Hmmm 50/50 on a pretty small sample then!
Matt, the hubs supplied are Shimano then. Cup and cone?
Thanks for the tip on Primes I'll take a look
