Looking for ideas. I'm building an all-rounder bike later this year based on a Genesis Croix-de-Fer frameset.

Need some disc wheels for tyres up to 32mm, but not looking for anything too heavy.

The best I've seen so far are Mavic Aksium disc, which have a wider-than-normal rims (17mm internal) to accpet wider tyres, as most 'road' rims are around 13mm internal and limited to 28mm max. tyre width.

Are there any other wheelsets out there which I'm not aware of?

Cheers,

Ben

Any good 29er mtb wheel if you are running 10spd, otherwise hope on crest work well, and can be run tubeless easily as well, which gives you some interesting options.
What does 'hope on crest' mean? Hope hubs and which rims?

Cheers,

Ben

Kinesis Crosslight Disc wheels are good value and not too pricey.
