What Disc Brake Wheelset?

I've a new Felt VR30 on the way and I'm guessing the in house Felt VR21 wheels are not going to be the lightest around.

I'm not looking to spend a fortune but want something sub 1800g. So far the only wheels that I can find in that weight group and within my budget are DT Swiss R 24 db Wheelset which are €239 from Bike24 and weigh in at 1775g.

On another note, the VR30 has through axles so does that mean I cannot use wheels that use regular QR's?

Can you swap that figure to the equivalent in £?

mugensi

Yeah anything around the £250 mark would be acceptable.

Fulcrum Racing 5 disc at Wiggle (QR) are about that price. 1715g.

I've not killed mine yet.

Thanks, will keep them in mind.

I have the Fulcrum Racing 5 DB's and they are great for the money. Handled Flanders well.

Having searched far and wide, I think the Fulcrum 5's are about the only wheel available in the format I need (centre lock with through axle) and within my budget...so now just have to keep an eye out for any deals on them.

Hunt - I have a set of four seasons disc and they're excellent. Interchangeable from thru to QR, light and tubeless ready

Thumbs up for Hunt, I have a pair of 4Season Disc, bit more than the £250 budget though, but worth a look.

Who/where can Hunt wheels be bought? I'm not familiar with them...

Type "Hunt wheels" into Google, should be the first result.
