At present I have a lovely pair of Pro2 Evo hubs laced into some Spank gravel rims (29er).
These are lightweight (ish) and have been reliable tubeless even with my awkward Panaracer tyres.
So why do I want to change you say ………
I currently run an XT 11 speed cassette and I cannot justify having the wide range (11 – 40). I’d like to swap it our for a closer range, albeit not as wide, road cassette.
I think I have it right that the Pro2 Evo hub Freehub options are only 10 speed road compatible soooooooo this would mean a hub swap as a minimum or …….. new wheels.
I keep looking at the Zipp 303 FIRECREST but these are likely pushing the budget and by pushing I mean out of budget.
Soooooo off the peg wheels happy running a 45mm tyres in a 29er flavour that are 11 speed road compatible and preferable no fewer than 28 spoke (I know the Zipp are 24 but they comfortable cover my rider weight.
What be the masses suggestions?
