I'm in the market for a second wheelset for my gravel bike. It came with a 700c wheelset that I'm happy with. However, I want a 650b wheelset so that I can use 2.1" mountain bike tires (the widest by bike can handle) for rougher gravel and singletrack.
There have been a couple threads on this topic over the past few years, and I've read those, but looking to see if there's anything new in the past year.
On my radar from those threads and other recommendations are:
DT Swiss G 1800 Spline
Mason x Hunt Adventure Sport
Easton EA70 AX
Shimano GRX WH-RX570
These all seem reasonable and $500 or less, which is where I'd like to stay unless there is very good reason to pay more. These are just for casual training rides so I don't need the best, just something that will get the job done.
Opinions on these wheels? Are there any other wheels I should be considering that you've had good experience with?
