Disc brake alloy wheelset

Hi, I'm looking at buying a light and good quality set of alloy tubeless disc road wheels. I want a set with some decent hubs, don't want another set of Novatec's, got too many already. I've narrowed it down to these three and wondered if anyone had any experience with them?

    Looking at internal rim width, the Mavics are 19mm, DT Swiss are 18mm, Rovals are 20mm.
    If you like DTSwiss, may be worth considering the ER1400 instead which are a better 20mm internal width.
    I have a set of the DT-Swiss ER-1600 and they're great.

    Thanks, I'll take a look at those. That's what I liked about the Rovals, DT hub internals, DT spokes and a wider rim with not much of a weight penalty.

    The wider DT Swiss rim is the rr421db, rather than the very light but narrower rr411db.

    Here's a handbuilt set with those wider rims. These are on Hope hubs but they'll do you them with the DT Swiss 350s if you ask...

    Why not go handbuilts, guaranteed decent quality. Wheelsmith or Cycleclinics would be my choice.


    Lightweight but wide(ish) tubeless rim, DT Swiss 350's and still be £500-£570?

    These look superb and while I'd ordinarily always recommend handbuilts, as these are based on the DT 240 hub I'm not sure any wheelbuilders would get near that price for the equivalent spec.
