[Closed] Help Build My Dirty Disco

I think I am going to push the button on a Dirty Disco CX frame this week. Any 5'8" owners out there as I am dithering between 52/54 sizes.

Anyway, I could do with some disk ready wheels recommendations. I would like to have tubeless as an option as well.

Groupset will probably be Shimano CX50 with BR-R505 cable disks unless anyone has any better ideas.

Not thought about seatpost or saddle.

Any ideas appreciated
Ta
Dave

Avid bb7 road calipers seem to be the brake of choice for drop bar stis.

You could do a lot worse than on ones own 29er xc wheelset aswell.

Thanks cp, not sure that wheelset supports thinner tyres though does it?

Any last help for me as I think I am going to buy the full Rival build. But I'm dithering about the wheels and whether they will support a thin enough tyre for extended road rides. Any experience?

I've got the Rival build. Very good it is too.

Why not speak to on-one about the wheels? They could advise or recommend a different set.

I may have some vgc Hope Hoops on Crest for sale soon actually. I've been running them on the commuter but road tyres are too tight for them really, so not ideal.
