I think I want something that doesn’t exist sadly 🙁
I’m looking for something ideally that’s tubeless, or can be made tubeless easily, either QR rear or 10mm available & around the 1700g mark.
Now, my big issue is i’ve had my fingers burnt with a set of Easton Haven’s, which have been, well, crap to put it bluntly. Had they been a bit more durable, they could have been the ideal setup.
Don’t want to consider a set of Pro 2/Flow’s, as they are ~1900g, plus the strips etc come out well over the wrong side of 2kg all in, and I have an old set of Pro 2/DT5.1’s I’ll just chuck on for the bigger days.
So, what’s out there? I’m really against the idea of a factory wheelset again, as I want something I can get spares for easily if needs be and my experiences, along with that of my riding buddies has proven the whole concept to be a massive pain in the arse.
Am I really limited to a Pro 2/Stans Crest wheelset? I can’t see anything else that comes close to what I want. I like the look of the cheap Roval Traverse EL’s, but as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy…
