So I'm in the market for a new wheelset for XC /trails. I've got a set of Roval Control Carbon at the moment (cost me $1200ish) and they are a nice stiff wheelset at 1600g.
I'm tossing up another set of the same, or the SL versions of the Rovals ($400 more to me) at 1380g. The SLs are only 24/28 spoke which worries me a bit as I usually go for 32s. Anyone flogged a set of these mercilessly with success or are they likely to be fragile ?
Other options are LB rims or Zelvy rims on CX rays on CK rear and AC front hubs (hubs I have already) which will cost around $900 to $1200 built and weigh in around 1600g. Problem with this option is the convertibility between XD driver and axle standard will cost more with the CK hub. Rovals I am sorted for all options.
Any other suggestions around that budget range ?
Thanks
