New wheels

Johnnyvee · 2017-08-21T21:18:35+01:00

I am going to get some new Wheels for my cyclo-cross/gravel bike and being 100kg I'll be looking for 32 spoke 3 cross for strength. Not too bothered about weight as I could do with losing a bit myself. They need to be disc wheels and centre lock is preferable as are bolt thru axles. So far in my searches I gave narrowed it down to either the Kinesis crosslight CX Disc HD or a set of JRA 's new MAP wheelset with an upgrade to the Pacenti Forza rims. Does the road cc collective have any other suggestions for a robust wheelset that meet the criteria that I may be missing out on?

I’d have a chat with a wheelbuilder. Malcom at the Cycle Clinic knows his stuff.

Charliem – thanks for the info I’ll have a good look at those over the weekend. Having also been in the local Evans they’ll also build some wheels. I’m torn between a local wheelbuild with the ease of popping in with any issues or the on line order…. Hmmmm.

not sure about the nipples on the hydra build but I’m sure you can spec brass ones. I’ve got the rim brake version of the strada wheelset and they’re bombproof.

Thanks for the suggestions
Thanks for the suggestions but neither are 32 spoke and the novotechs have alloy nipples which in my experience causes grief with seized nipples after a good year of use..

Looks like JRA.

I had a wheel I built rebuilt by a local wheelbuilder and although I did pay a fair whack for his labour and parts the money has been worth it. Dropped the rear wheel in last September and a 2 spokes broke in early April so he rebuilt the wheel with new spokes and nipples and the wheel has been spot on ever since. I do have a look now and again to see if it’s out of true but it is still perfectly true despite riding with a pannier bag over the wheel and 15 stone of rider over the saddle.
