I think I've narrowed my search to either Prime Doyenne 50's at £550 (https://www.wiggle.co.uk/prime-doyenne- ... e-wheelset)
or the HUNT 50 Carbon Aero Disc Wheelset, currently on offer at £636 (https://www.huntbikewheels.com/products ... 9265895686)
Gotta say I'm more pumped for the Hunts, but have been reading around that they're a lot of hype?

I'd get these, DT Swiss 240 hubs are far better than what is on either the Prime or Hunt wheels. Also Sigma are a UK based retailer with bricks and mortar shops and fantastic customer service.
Knock £25 off the price by signing up with a new email address and they're only a few quid more than the Hunt wheels.

I fully agree with stumping up some extra cash for quality hubs.
My pal has the vels with the dt Swiss hubs and is really happy with them

Now that is an attractive proposition! I may go for the 38/50 offering! Thanks for this one!CampagYOLO wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:28 amhttps://www.sigmasports.com/item/Vel/38 ... elset/STI0

Unfortunately discount codes cannot be used with discounted products!
Looking to set these up tubeless, would the Conti 5000's be my best option?

Honestly just get the 50s front and rear unless your planning on doing lots of mountain days you will be fine.

Would do, however the 3850's are coming in at £699 versus the 50 RSL2 at £899!MrCurrieinahurry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:51 pmHonestly just get the 50s front and rear unless your planning on doing lots of mountain days you will be fine.
