Just to add when I had a warranty claim on the oem wheels on the bike, the store lent me Hunt 4 season discs.

They were lighter off the bike but fitted I genuinely can’t tell the difference between the Hunts and the DT swiss.

My wishlist was the same for my CX bike – use it for gravel, mud and winter road.

DT Swiss R24 Spline disc now doing the job. £200 a set from Tweeks and came with all axle adaptors you could ever want plus tubeless bits. CL rotors standard but also has adaptors.

They aren’t that light but zero flex and after a few hundred km of very rough riding still nicely round.

Mighty impressed for the money, be interested to see how they do very long term.

Only negative is alloy nipples, I’ve never had issues but have read about brass being better as do not corrode.

I was looking for the same

I was looking for the same and am still looking. 

 

Kinesis crosslight CX disc HD seem reasonable and also come with,  I believe,  end caps and adaptors.

Bit heavier than the Novatech but they have brass nipples and seem very well made. Wynstanleys have then at a good price.. 

 

May pull the trigger on these myself as for the money they seem the best deal.

If you can do without centre

If you can do without centre lock rotors then Novatech cxd wheels are a good choice

 

They have various axles and end caps and the rear can be run as 135mm or 145mm

 

Tubeless ready too

 

Weigh in at around 1500 grams and cost under £350

 

Had mine for over a year now and have done 5000 all weather miles and have been faultless

Lots of cross and gravel bikes have 142mm rear spacing.  E.g. Specialized Crux, Jamis Renegade, Rose Xeon CDX…

Correct.

Canyon Endurance, Giant Defy and my Cube all have 142 so think more options will be available soon.

I bought a set of DT Swiss RR

I bought a set of DT Swiss RR 21 DICUT db wheels for running 28mm road tyres on my adventure bike, and they are great.  Tubeless ready, lightweight, and they come with a full set of end caps for adapting to thru-axles or QR dropouts.  Look good too.  

I also have a set of American Classic 29 MTB Race wheels for my 40mm gravel tyres, but you might not need anything that wide.  In any case they have 6-bolt hubs and a 15mm thru axle at the front (not sure if that can be adapted).

Several brands (including HUNT mentioned above…ahem!) are now shipping with hubs which can be adapted using different end caps.

+1 for Hunt Wheels.

I’ve been running a pair of Hunt Mason 4 Season Disc since April last year and they have been fantastic. Great quality, superb ride feel, tubeless compatible, very light considering how durable they are and at a great price. They are designed for use in all weathers so cope with winter conditions no problem, with no sign of corrosion on mine, and bearings still smooth. Mine have been used on the road in all conditions, have done some mixed road/gravel events and have also seen service on my CX bike for races. A friend has since bought the gravel version which are even tougher for a small weight penalty.

Sorry, meant the thru axle
Sorry, meant the thru axle length.

Not sure what you mean by

Not sure what you mean by ‘142 rear old’ but have you had a look on the Hunt Wheels website? I’ve got a pair on both of my bikes (4 Season disc on my summer bike and the cheaper winter rim brake wheels on my winter bike) and I’m really pleased with them.
