I currently have a pair of Spank Wing 22 rims laced into a pair of Pro 2 Evo hubs on my Fearless.
They were built up a couple of year ago and are holding up well to the challenging terrain conditions we have in East Anglia 😏
I'm currently running an Ultegra 11 speed cassette but the one you can run on a 11 speed MTB freehub and currently shod with 40mm tyres.
I'd like to have the option for an 11 speed road cassette, centre lock rotors and a rim that will take upto a 42mm tyre - i've no need for larger.
Probably looking off the peg or from somewhere that builds custom wheels as the two wheel builders that I have used previously are miles from me.
I'd like some 303s but I've read mixed reviews on the Zipp hubs.
I've had a pair of Just Riding Along Monitors on my gravel bike, running 40-50mm tyres - done nearly 8,000 miles with no issues.
£450, less than 1600g.
Recommended.

a heavily discounted, fancy Italian carbon 650b option for under 400
Hunt are discounting most of their wheels at the mo:

Or I could sell you some lightly used Superstar V6/Arc Ultra wheels for less than half the price - as I've just gone to wider rims 🙂
Whatever DTs you can afford, I think I'd be content with the GR1600, just a shame there's nothing between that and the GRC(arbon) 1600 it seems
How's about these a DT Swiss LN wheelset with tyres, sealant & rotors from Merlin for £299, absolute bargain if you ask me.
Nice bundle, and also available for £250 for just the wheels.
I'd just flag up:

TBH anything will do. I did the KAW on a set of Mavic Aksiums - lower end, low spoke count, managed fine fully loaded ! Just set yourself a price limit. How about handbuilt wheels ?
+1 for JRA.
