Hunt Wheels...

[Johnny]

Morning.

Anyone running Hunt wheels on their road bike?

I'm thinking of getting some 50 Carbon Wide Aero (Rim) for the good bike.

Reviews that I've seen are good and I like the way they operate.

Just after more feedback if anyone has?

ETA - With the idea to go Tubeless if I get them. I was also looking at the Mavic 40 Carbon Pro UST iGTm 2019...

Hunts are c.£950, Mavics about £1150 from Sigma...

Many thanks for all the comments...

Sums up what i'd read elsewhere tbh. I know what Hunt et al are doing, no issue there.

And also made me remember that I was thinking about some handbuilts from Wheelsmith previously.

For around £1200 ish I could get a pair of 50mm Tubeless ready wheels built on Chris King from Wheelsmith or DCR etc.

However I now see this, Prime 50 BlackEdition:

£599! And reviews seem very good. For that money it may well be worth a punt,

Decisions...

Been musing again...

With BC discount it brings the Prime 50s down to £589.99

However, once I change shipping to Hungary its comes out at £675.85!

I've got 2 pairs of Chris King R45 and both have been great, one pair on a 32hole Aluminium rim and 1 pair on a set of
Wheelsmith built carbon 35mm wheels. Expensive, but should last many a rebuild. The aluminium set have done around
7,000 miles, including 3 trips to the Alps, bike packing and general riding.

How are the Wheelsmith rims? How is the braking?

I think ideally I want a handbuilt set on Chris King.

But the impatient 5 year old in me likes the be here next week factor of the Primes

Anyone got experience of Alto components? I see DCR recommending them...
