Max budget £1,000.

Tubeless disc wheelset suitable for road and gravel duties.

Up to now Zipp 303s leading the charge, though 1500g isn’t as light as some. I live in the Peaks so hills come as standard.

Thoughts..?

I guess it depends how

I guess it depends how “gravelly” the gravel is!

303 “S” model is about 4-500

303 “S” model is about 4-500 a pop thus in budget.  303 Firecrests are getting on for double that.

I guess the main risk you are taking is using an aero road set for gravel and running into long term stress/durability issues.  Hunt are rumoured to be bringing out an aero gravel wheel but its not out yet.

tbh – given that it’ll be simpler/easier to have 2 sets of wheels and tyres for road versus gravel I’d be tempted to go one or the other and save up for a cheaper seperate set – probably for gravel.   Do you really want the sick feeling of rocks smacking bits off of your lovely road aero wheels?   Plus if you lose a wheel to a gravel incident how much is that gonna crimp your road riding?

Can you get a 303 disc

Can you get a 303 disc wheelset for <£1K?? I think they are typically sold as separates for ~£800 a wheel.

You can get Reynolds ARX series for a little over your budget, they are nice and wide and tubeless too. You can probably spec a set of handbuilts for under £1K (I assume you want carbon and deep section).
