If this seems like a really obvious question, apologies; my Focus CX bike has pretty average, cosmetically not very durable (paint peeling, rim corroding) 700c disk braked wheels, would 29er wheels be an upgrade route?
There don't seem to be many 700c wheelsets that are disc compatible, though I suppose that might change...
