Any recommendations on a cheap gravel wheel set. Pro x have a decent set for around $600USD with 350 hubs but are only 21mm internal and feel that is a bit too narrow.
Just looking to upgrade my gravel bike a bit as I think I'll use it to commute to work and for some training so looking for a cheap option.
Dt350s would be a bonus.

If you're prepared to wait (mine took 7 weeks to arrive all in), then I'd highly recommend these Elite Edge wheels. 45 deep, 31 external, 24 internal @ ~1390g

Hubs are DT ratchet style, and after 6 months of all weather use, the bearings in mine are still buttery smooth. Tubeless tyre fitting and retention is spot on. Nothing really to compain about, especially for the price.

I paid about 600usd incl shipping for a set of 50mm deep carbon wheels, 28mm internal width, 36mm external. Xmdcarbon (or 'Peter' on Chinerforum). He's fast to respond by email and quick to do business with. Wheels arrived in about 3-4 weeks.AgentScully wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2024 9:47 amAny recommendations on a cheap gravel wheel set.

Didn't try them on the bike yet, but most people are generally happy with his products.
Been considering a set of these. The only thing putting me off is the relatively 'V' shape of the rims. Do you have some pics and what was the weight of your set? Peter said they should come in around 1435g which seemed reasonable.Requiem84 wrote:I paid about 600usd incl shipping for a set of 50mm deep carbon wheels, 28mm internal width, 36mm external.
