any suggestions for good value wheels, looking to change from 700c to go a bit wider with the tyres, currently have fulcrum db5 700cc and they have been fine, any suggestions sub £200 12mm bolt through required

At that price and with the current lack of stock anywhere I think you have hobsons choice I.e Fulcrum Racing 7.

I've just had a set delivered as I didn't want to pay double for Hunt bearing in mind these would be winter mud and crap wheels. They look OK for the money but I haven't fitted them yet (to my Arkose) as the tyres havnt turned up.

Other than these I think you will struggle unless you want to pre order hunts or pay a lot more

ime the fulcrum wheels come with poorly sealed bearings, keep an eye on them as the seals tend to be really poor or non existent

Just use any 100/142 650b MTB wheels and sleeve the 15mm front to 12mm.

DT EX1501, M1700, etc

I have a set of Mavic Allroads in 700c but they come in 650b as well I think. They seem decent enough and were c£200/set.

There's a set of M1700s on ebay for that and a front XM1501 seems to sell for about £115. Rear is harder to come by but several have been sold in September.

27.5 seems to be dying, so...
