Which gravel wheels?

[bartl0]

Hi guys!

I'm about to buy gravel wheels. Currently thinking of https://www.winspace.cc/product/lun-grapid-700-gravel-wheelset/ or https://www.9velo.com/products/gravel-gv-series?VariantsId=10032
They are in similar price range acceptable for me.
your insight or feedback from experience greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I used to own a pair with bladed pillar spokes and aluminum spoke nipples. Very decent set for only 3 years until spoke nipples broke one by one. Got the wheelset rebuild entirely. Also not a big fan of the pillar spokes, personally I would only go for Sapim spokes.

Not sure where you live, but have you considered handbuilt wheels?

I purchased these Elite Wheels for my Gravel build around 4 years ago.  They have around 8K miles on them now.  Zero issues!  They have never had to be trued, and have not been babied.  Probably 60% of the miles have been on Gravel roads and a lot of single track.  Probably the best set of wheels I have ever purchase for under $400.  Plus they will be on sale on their Black Friday deal in a few days.

I ordered my gravel wheels directly from OEM factory - yuanan. Contact person is Leon Hu. I asked for the custom build and I am very satisfied.

35mm deep, 25mm internal, pillar 1420, 36t ratchet hub - weight 1430g.

Nothing can't beat them at 500$ price point.

I've had good experiences working with Clannad.  I purchased many of my MTB rims and  pre-built wheels from this store.

I'm pretty happy with the 9Velo 45mm wheels I have, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the wider ones marketed for gravel.

Anyone try Speeder's gravel wheels? I know their road wheels are well received.

Got quoted 665$USD for a set with 40mm depth, 25mm internal, DT Swiss 350 hub and sapim cx-ray spokes.

Turning an endurance bike into a gravel bike with 35mm listed clearance on 700C.
