Hi everyone, new on here!
I have just become the proud owner of a Charge Plug Ti and its just wonderful on and off road, I am loving how versatile it is. Currently I am running Schwalbe G-One's tubeless and they are working a treat - they roll so well that the bike has totally replaced my road bike.
I'd like to get a second set of wheels and I am after some recommendations. At first I had thought about going for a 650b wheelset and running big volume tyres (47's?) for gravel and using my current wheelset with slick road tyres. Now I am thinking that maybe another set of 700c would be fine. Anyone running 650b in their 700c gravel/bikepacking bike?
I want a reasonably lightweight set of wheels that will take some abuse. My budget is £400 or under.
So far I have looked at Hunt 4season Gravel disc, Hope 20FIVE and Stans Iron Cross... Thanks!
Gravel disc wheel upgrade?

Love 650b in my Arkose running 50c tyres.

Re: Gravel disc wheel upgrade?
What 650b's are you running in the Arkose?

Nothing exotic or lightweight, just some cheap and cheerful Superstar hubs with Pacenti rims.What 650b's are you running in the Arkose?
