Disc Rim Upgrade (Thru-Axle)

NorthEastJimmy · 2015-04-02T21:48:31+01:00

I've decided to upgrade the DT Axis 3.0 rims that come with the Specialized Diverge Comp. I haven't ordered the bike yet so I'm hoping to get some kind of deal by asking for an up front upgrade but I'm unsure what to go for. My current rims on my Charge are Mavic Disc Ones (roughly £150) and was hoping to go slightly better (£200-£250). With the front being a thru-axle and the bike being discs, are there specific limitations I need to consider or would the LBS take care of making it compatible? Also any suggestions as to what to upgrade to? Thanks!

Didn’t realise how limited
Didn’t realise how limited the choices are regarding the above!

I’ve actually gone with some Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs with Mavic Open Pro rims, based on the advice from the very helpful and friendly staff at Specialized Harrogate.
‘Hope’ I’ve made the right choice!

Just got a two month wait for the bike now! ~X(
