I've got a pretty stout training rear wheel (DT Swiss 585 rim) with a Powertap G3 hub. Is there a cheap way to upgrade it (keeping the Powertap) to a decent all-round 50-60mm depth wheel for training and IM distance races.
Here are the options I can think of:
I could stop over-complicating it by buying a new wheelset and selling the existing wheel, but it feels like I could save some money if I found a rim for a good price. Total budget around 200-300GBP.
Thanks in advance.
Here are the options I can think of:
- Buy a new/used rim and get somebody to build it onto the hub for me.
- Buy a new/used wheel and get somebody to rebuild it with the Powertap hub
- Find somewhere that makes wheels in-house and get them to build a wheel with my hub
