I'm starting to plan ahead and see what sub-1199g wheels are available to buy in the next few months.

On the low end I found sub 1150g 50mm depth, 24mm IW / 30mm EX wheels for under $500 USD:

On the high end, I found 50mm depth wheels that are 975g, but cost right under $1400 USD:

I'm a bit partial to anything in the 40-50mm depth range, but are still lightweight enough for climbing and fast pace on the flats. I found a couple in-between the $400-1500 USD price mark, but I'm open to other options. Any recommendations and/or opinions would be great. Thanks!

Good morning,
I tried a quick search but couldn't find anything on the topic.

I'm looking for a wide and deep (something similar to the Zipp XPLRs) set of 650b rims on a budget.
I've looked at the usual suspects (Farsport, Lightbicycle, Light Carbon, ... ) but I don't seem to find any.

I know people like to dislike this option, but I want to make a 1 bike - 2 wheelsets setup for my gravel bike and I'm missing a 650b wheelset for it.

It looks like 650b rims have fallen off favour in the last few years, but I do think that they make sense in certain situations, mine certainly, in order to maintain the same geometry when swapping from a 700c wheel with road tire to a 650b wheel set with a wide gravel tire + to maintain enough tire clearance with a 2x setup.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, it seems my rear SR278C hub is no exception when it comes to bearing issues - it developed a play. Has anyone here tried replacing the bearings themselves? Do I need any special tools?

too early to service but thinking down the road, what tools is needed for the SR278C hubs? I think it needs a special tool like DT swiss to remove the ratchet ring in order to remove the bearings?

Hello Serenade !

Do you plan on offering wavy 60-65mm deep wheels ? Would also be interested in 65-70 even.

Thanks
