Hey there! I've finally installed my Elitewheels Gravel Aero+ (40mm external, 32mm internal, 45mm deep) wheelset and did my first ride. Can't say too much about them but they ride really well. Fast acceleration (they're 1380g, very lightweight), nice cornering, and they hold speed pretty well on flat, paved sections. I did feel the aero + rolling resistance penalty compared to a road bike, but it was much less than expected (maybe 2-3km/h, at around 35km/h). I'd highly recommend these wheels, especially for the low price (I paid around 460€, but I've now seen them as low as 410€ in Europe.).
I've put on Specialized Pathfinder Pros in 42mm, they blow up to about 46mm.
Special Shoutout to the Magene PES P505 Power Meter (165mm) and the RIRO 48T chainring, both from AliExpress. Very happy with the setup!
Rest of the setup: GRX Di2 (2×12) rear derailleur, 105 Di2 shifters, 11-36 cassette. Top tube bag from Canyon, saddle bag from Rockbros.
