Boardman Cyclocross Wheels

[smiggs1967]

Hi All

I have a problem trying to get a cyclocross wheelset with disc brake capability. There are a few but they are either massively expensive or not suitable. I am very heavy user of my bike and break spokes regularly and wondered if I could fit 29" MTB wheels with 700 (or 29") x 25mm Road Tyres on it rather than the 700c cyclocross I have at the moment. I have a SRAM 10 gear cassette and would want a hub that can accept this cassette

Hope you can help

These have had good reviews :

Or you could go hand-built - Hope hubs and Archetype rims should come in under £400, for example.

Or cheaper : http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-wh-rx31-centre-lock-road-disc-brake-rear-wheel/

Cheers mate, the cross light ones look really good. Thanks for your help

My boardman cx wheels are coming to the end of their life. So next year my LBS will be building a set for me (with dunohub).

I'd advise custom if you can, because you'll get what you want/need.

Cheers mate, never really thought about my bike shop building a set, it's worth looking into.
