Would you mind linking me with some good options.? I could maybe consider..  In pm or just on here..

Just for interest sake so I can get an idea.. I don’t know if I’ll upgrade just yet..

 

Just use the filter?

Road bike wheels, brake type disc - then filter the price to 0 to  10000zar

There is a really good set of Giant carbon wheels. I'd buy those.

You WILL need to know the axle types and widths of your wheels though as I see above you say you don't know.

You can't buy or even look at wheels unless you know what hub widths and axle types you have

Okay cool cool, got you.!!

I haven’t looked at much as I don’t know what I’m looking at or what to look for.. at this point I would totally buy a set only to find out they won’t work on my bike..😰🤣🤣

 

so thank you.. I think I’ll consult the wheel builder or my local bike shop if I am going to upgrade.!

thank you mate..😉🤘🏻

It's an easy figure.

If the wheels drop out of open slots with the axlw still in the hub, you have QR wheels, usually front 100x9mm, rear 135x10mm.

If you unscrew an axle and have to remove the whole axle in order for the wheel to drop out of round holes then you have 12mm axles, rear 142x12 and front 100x12

It's that easy

When you see a set of wheels, post the link here and ask your questions.

 

Lots of Hubbers that know their wheels, and that can guide you 

 

 

One small thing to add to your list of questions - Shimano or SRAM freebody ?  I know know many mix-and-match, others advise against it ....

I think he said 10 speed?

If I remember correctly, 10 speed uses a regular splined freehub.

If the wheels are QR, you will need to make sure the wheels you buy have interchangeable end caps.

Very seldom are carbon disc wheels sold as QR these days

Ah ok, my mistake.

Do me a favour and post a picture of your wheels when off the bike? Notably the hubs.

If the smallest cog is an 11 speed, you likely have a standard shimano/splined freehub body

The best gravel wheels in existence are the ENVE AG25 wheels
