Wheel recommendations?
I've sung the praises of the value of my Mason x Hunt 650B Adventure Dynamo Disc wheelset, which has been on my bike since I built it in early 2020, over 16000 miles ago, and needed only minor truing, but at the beginning of my LEJoG I noticed cracks around just about every other rear spoke hole. Fortunately they held up for the whole trip, but I obviously need to do something about it before it fails on a ride. I can either rebuild with a new rim on the same hub, or just replace with a new wheel that has a Shimano 11-speed compatible driver.
The current rim is 28 hole, 25 mm internal, 28 mm external. Disc brake only, tubeless compatible. Possibly looking for something with eyelets this time. I'd like to get something that will last at least double that 16000 miles. I run 48 mm tyres.
A little deeper would be okay, not sure about carbon.

Absolutely spot on. Personally i stopped using his wet lube as I found it an absolute bugger to clean off. It's affective and lasts well but it...

Is this one on your test list? I'm guessing the makeup of it is completely different from previous muc-off lubes. If, as they claim, it's...

If the owner can't identify who was driving their vehicle, impound it for a month and see what happens. I bet they figure it out real quick

IC confirmation bias at it's finest, and not the facts of the matter IMHO.

$200?
How about something stock like a DT Swiss?

David at DCR wheels can probably build you a nice replacement, if Hunt don't stump up.
DCR can build you a better replacement!
Better than 16000 miles for £250?
Also, is it worth contacting Hunt? I'm 18 months past their three year warranty period.
A friend of mine binned his Hunts in similar circumstances, then found out that Hunt would have offered a discount on buying a replacement. Not sure if such offers are a regular service, but he regretted his hasty decision.
Yeah, I might do it, but best case I have another wheel that will crack in under 20k miles, right? I suppose there's some value in knowing they'll last at least 1000 miles after noticing a bunch of cracks.
I would definitely reach out to Hunt. They have great customer service and are really easy to deal with in my experience. What have you got to lose by sending an email ?
