Hello,

im considering getting XM-Carbonspeed wheels as well. Are the in house ratchet hubs easy serviceable (e.g. with DT-Swiss upgrade kit or Bearing-Service)?

Ty

The front hub bearings are 63802 (15x24x7). The rear hub bearings are 63802 (15x24x7). The freehub has 1-63802(15x24x7) and 1-15267(15x26x7).

That's looking real nice! Lovin' that gravel ride and look. I can't tell with your attached image, but with the 34mm outer width of the rim, what width tire did you put on? I see it's Schwalbe G-ONE branded, but can't tell from the markings your chosen width. And how did it feel at that width?

The tires are still the stock Schwalbe G-One Bites in 45c that came on the bike. I was running 35psi in the stock wheels for pavement rides and 30psi offroad. These wheels are definitely firmer at the same pressure so I need to play around with lower pressures. The tires are ok offroad but I'd like to switch to something like a 42 pathfinder or 45 g-one rs for a little more speed on the road. In my area I end up covering a lot of road between gravel/dirt sections and I'll likely be using this as my road bike this winter.

I recently came across this post when searching for some gravel wheels and decided to email Peter. Gave him an idea of what I wanted and he emailed me back within a few days with some different options for a custom build. Went with the 40mm deep 26mm inner and 34mm outer, model no. CS-D40CU-33 built with house hubs (ratchet style), 24 Sapim cx-ray spokes and Shimano freehub. Went with no holes in the rim bed for easy tubeless setup and was looking for a sub 1400 gram wheelset. Within about 10 days I received pics of the hoops along with their weight, and within 14 days received pics of the final build along with actual weight of 1349 grams. Received the wheels about 2 weeks later so about a month from the initial order being placed. Setup went easy and I really put them through hell last week on a gravel ride in Vermont and they're still spinning true. Very happy with the purchase and communication from Peter throughout the process. Highly recommended.
