Looking for some CX hoops. My frame is standard road spacing meaning I need 130mm rear hub spacing so I cannot use disc hubs. Anyone used the standard Planet X 50/50 (non disc) wheels for CX?

Nick Craig won the Elite national championships on those wheels - you decide whether that's a good enough recommendation ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks, was just wondering as the spoke pattern on the front is different to that used for the disc wheels. Presuming this is to cope with disc braking forces rather than strength?

Yeah, radial front is no issue when it's non-disc. Also makes it easier to get the mud off. I ran 16 spoke radial fronts for years.
