Hey everyone, I looking to buy my first set of gravel carbon wheels and can't make a decision between a few models from Farsports. I ride 50/50 on rough gravel and road, currently use 40-45mm tires, but will likely use 50 in the future. These are my options:
- 24mm internal width, 30mm depth, 30mm external width, 1325g weight, hooked https://www.wheelsfar.com/products/gravel-wheelset-built-with-dt-swiss-new-350-sp-hub?VariantsId=10942,10962,10974,10967,10972,10976
- 27mm internal width, 28mm depth, 32mm external width, 1295g weight,hookless

I am a bit worried about using 27mm internal rims since I might want to run 35mm road tires for some events and don't really trust Farsports enough to go for hookless confidently.
There's also an option to use DT Swiss 240EXT hub instead of DT Swiss 350 which would bring the weight down by 50grams. Price difference is 100 euros (117$) for 1st set of wheels and 50 euros (60$) for the second. Do you think price justifies difference in hubs? Would I feel the difference?
