Wheel recommendations?
I've sung the praises of the value of my Mason x Hunt 650B Adventure Dynamo Disc wheelset, which has been on my bike since I built it in early 2020, over 16000 miles ago, and needed only minor truing, but at the beginning of my LEJoG I noticed cracks around just about every other rear spoke hole. Fortunately they held up for the whole trip, but I obviously need to do something about it before it fails on a ride. I can either rebuild with a new rim on the same hub, or just replace with a new wheel that has a Shimano 11-speed compatible driver.
The current rim is 28 hole, 25 mm internal, 28 mm external. Disc brake only, tubeless compatible. Possibly looking for something with eyelets this time. I'd like to get something that will last at least double that 16000 miles. I run 48 mm tyres.
A little deeper would be okay, not sure about carbon.

Just ignore whatever ban or signs and cycle through it. Nothing much they can or will do about it anyway.

That's 36 bikes on 18 Sheffield stands. And whilst the the cheaper shed looks impressive, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to lock up the frame.

This looks quite good.

David at DCR wheels can probably build you a nice replacement, if Hunt don't stump up.
DCR can build you a better replacement!
Better than 16000 miles for £250?
Also, is it worth contacting Hunt? I'm 18 months past their three year warranty period.
A friend of mine binned his Hunts in similar circumstances, then found out that Hunt would have offered a discount on buying a replacement. Not sure if such offers are a regular service, but he regretted his hasty decision.
Yeah, I might do it, but best case I have another wheel that will crack in under 20k miles, right? I suppose there's some value in knowing they'll last at least 1000 miles after noticing a bunch of cracks.
