Feeler: ISO carbon gravel wheelset
Over the past few years I've switched to riding carbon wheels on my mountain bikes and feel that this is one of the best upgrades that I could make to any bike. I'd like to upgrade the wheels on my gravel bike and wondered if anybody has anything for sale? Looking for:
700
12x100 front
12z142 read
XD compatible (I'm okay with swapping as long as it's possible)
~35mm depth
18-21 inner width
Disc brake
Decent hubs (DT350 or similar)
24 spokes at minimum
I have a set of aluminum roval slx 24s if anybody wants to trade or buy a nice set of aluminum wheels. Straight and true.

not sure what your budget is, but I highly recommend Cascadia Wheels (formerly Indigenous Wheel co) out of Tacoma WA, but they ship. about $1200 gets you a sweet hand built carbon wheelset to your specs. Joey and Kelsey do great work. I roll two sets of their wheels.

Hunt wheels get good reviews.

If looking for new I would also suggest/recommend looking at Light Bicycle. I bought the AR56 disc wheels for just under $850. They get very good reviews on the bike forums I've been on.

If you're not going to spend $2500 on the highest end Enve or Roval, just get Chinese wheels straight from the manufacturer instead of through a middleman like Hunt. It will save you $200-400.
Light Bicycle, BTLOS, Farsports (Wheelsfar), Winspace, etc. Farsports has an especially attractive rim that they call 30/30 IIRC.
Oh, and 23-25 mm IW is all the rage and will be better for tires 35-45mm wide. If you're running road tires or really narrow gravel tires I guess you might still want 18-22mm.
I just recently put out the same call as you and came up empty for used wheels. I don't think people are selling their carbon gravel wheels much.ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

I just finished a CX bike build for a pro rider, their team bike came stock with Renyolds Assault DB LE (TL, 24 spoke, 41mm tall, 21mm internal, +/-1600g, XD compatible).
They mentioned they have training wheels and race wheels I need to set up for this bike.
If these are going to be sold, I'll list them up on here.

Still looking, but had a question for the collective. While 20+ mm internal width rims may work best for a 40cc tire, how bad would a 17mm rim be? My mountain bikes in the past have run 2.1" tires with similar IW rims and nobody died. That said, I know that tires are designed a bit differently today. If every other box was checked except the internal width, I'm tempted to go for it. Am I nuts?

Nevermind. Found a pair of Reynolds' with 21mm internal width.
