Gravel wheelset recommendations

Yeah you really dodged a bullet there with an extra 35g, and more durable solution

I just found some Ali-store weight, not sure if it's accurate
PART ITEMS PRICE EACH PRICE COMB WEIGHT EACH WEIGHT COMB
Duke Lucky Star Ultra 2 2 360 720
DT370 1 1 472 472
cx-ray 56 56 4,8 268,8
alu nipples 56 56 0,3 16,8
TOTAL 115 1477,6

is it DT 370 mtb (11-speed mtb/10-speed road) or DT 370 road (11-speed mtb/11-speed road)?
sealing is not as good as dt 350 for dirt riding, but it is not hard to disassemble and remove dirt when you need to clean it

dt 370 uses pawl system in stock,
do you plan to upgrade it to star ratchet?
some weights are here:

The new DT370 is ratchet also, according to "The Interwebz"

Yeah I understand the tradeoff with alu over brass but this bike won't see that much gravel. The bike is primarily gonna be used on the trainer. I'm new to gravel so it depends how much I'm gonna like it. If I do then I might look at something more expensive in the future. So I'm not worried about durabilty too much right now.

Thanks for the weights. The Mavics are 1590g so that's very good for the money compared to other alu wheels.

I chose the road version. I probably should have asked about the details before ordering. Plus the road version is 20 euros extra. Would both versions work with Shimano 105 cassettes? Is the sealing the only difference?

Yeah I read that it could be upgraded, which is why I chose to save the 100 euros. That way I can decide in the future what to do.

I read that as well but on their site it says it's pawl system for the 370. Maybe it's the old version.

I just had to replace an Al nipple from my 700 farsports rims after about 12-15k miles, after it pulled through the spoke hole. I couldn’t tell if it cracked or corroded. I went with brass on a newer 650b wheel set because neither are race wheels.

wat=? Is the hole ok?

Yes the nipple just corroded or deformed to the point that it pulled through. The rim was fine. I replaced it with another Al nipple that I had but will probably rebuild the wheels with brass.

I'm on Mavic all road SL. So many of the hubs on the generic wheels don't stand up to muddy, wet weather. I know you can put new bearings in but it gets old quickly.

I ordered a set from Farsports - 27 days from placing the order to arriving at my door.

$985.00 all in - including shipping & insurance, with $39.94 duty charge from Canada Post.

Really light at 1,270gr . Hooked & no issues mounting the tires. So far, so good!
