Looking at getting some new wheels for my gravel bike, a budget of up to around £350 to £400.
I am finally going to go tubeless, so any suggestions or recommendations for a new set of wheels?
Thrubolt, not QR. Up to 40mm tyre width.
DT C 1800's or G 1800's tick all those boxes.
Hunt used to be the default answer - I like mine. I know their MTB wheels have been a bit more problematic, but the 4-Season Gravels I have have put up with a fair amount of abuse, went up easily tubeless with 40C Nanos, and are a good, light, solid set of wheels. They can do adapters for various axle types as well IIRC
Hope 20Five have been great on my gravel bike
You can get them with Pro4 hubs or RS4 road hubs, the RS4 24 spoke versions weigh in around 1650 grams

DT c1800. 18 months under a 95kg ride and haven't needed touched. Easy to set up tubeless and come with all the adaptors and valves.
Plus if you do ever need any spares every LBS has a Madison account and can get them next day.
Under impressed with hope20five dinged rim very easily

Really impressed with my Pacenti Forza wheelset, built it myself so assume the ready built sets built by a professional would be even better.
Most importantly, went up tubeless super easily with Vittoria tyres.
