So like the title said, I want a gravel wheelset for a bike i just bought. 2018 specialized diverge. it came with DT Swiss r470 DB with specialized Roubaix 32 tires. I figure this will be nice if i'm just riding mostly on pavement...but i'd like another wheelset for something more gravel oriented, but still able to perform well on the pavement. Doesn't have to be the lightest thing out there. any recommendations would be much appreciated! thanks!
Got a set of the GX wheels a few weeks ago when they were on sale. Been super good so far. About a 500 miles of all types of surfaces other then mud. Comfortable and sturdy. Time will tell, but so far, thumbs up!
hey everyone, I actually JUST bought an HED + Chris king wheelset. thanks for everyone's suggestions. i'll probably take one of the recommendations as a second wheelset to get! -Chris
Maybe consider getting a 650B/27.5 wheelset for gravel, instead of another 700c wheels, so you have the option of wider tires? For my part, I’m completely convinced by the wider-tires-at-lower-pressure approach, using nice light/supple tires, for both speed and comfort on all surfaces.
@Scubaman Yeah your probably right. The Spinergy rims with the red look so cool. Wish money wasn't an issue so I could just get them for the look. Hey @spinergypaul I emailed you.
