Looking for a good wheelset for my Checkpoint SL6. I’m eyeing on the 303 firecrest but I’ve been reading some negative things about it. Have anyone also tried on the Scribe Gravel Wheelset? How was it? Also, what hubs would you recommend? Thanks.

The Hunt 35s are the best bang for buck.
DT hubs are the easy button.
Bontrager wheels are seriously not bad but seem to be overlooked.
Hello. What kind of stand are you using ?!
Chinese wheels. Virtually no point to buying western brands beyond brand value unless they’re on a significant discount.

I just got a pair of Easton EC90 ALX with the vault hub. I freaaaaaking love them.
Plus lifetime warranty and crash replacement no questions asked

That what I’ll be getting.
Terra carbon 700.
We Are One hoops, Onyx hubs and BERD spokes.
My research has pointed me towards 9Velo, Yeoleo, or Elitewheels. Light Bicycle gets high praise too. No. 6 looks like a nice brand if you want to pay a bit more. I recently saw a company called aerohead that had affordable, well specd wheels, but there’s not a ton of info on them.
Elite, Super Team, XM carbon speed.
I got elite carbon wheels for $330 shipped and they’ve been amazing.
Why not aluminum?
What do you want outta these wheels?
Just be carbon? Aero? Width?
FWIW everyone who buys expensive wheels perceive them as amazing. The hubs also roll well.
Btw stock wheels you got are fine. Very little to gain.
