Interesting...I might pick up a set of the 650b gravel wheels for the Watia. Right now I'm on the Levantes, mostly on single track and gravel. Would be nice to have a second set of wheels and a fatter tire for bumping roots and rocks...

Change "might" to "did."

IMO, Reynolds carbon wheels are right at the top of others for a fraction of the cost. One would be silly to pass by these economical deals.

I keep telling myself that new wheels won't make me faster, but those 60mm Blacklabels are really tempting.

Campy

You can easily run shimano 11 or 12 speed cassettes with campy. I’ve always used shimano cassettes with my Campagnolo due to the cheaper cost and better gearing for me, plus availability of shimano FHBs

Not trying to be a pusher but just sayin….

Just received the Reynolds 650b wheelset. Beautifully made wheels, flawless carbon rims. I think the 650s were not blems, just 66% discounted. Thank you.

I ordered an NW3 freehub, discs, tires (Pirellis), etc...looking forward to getting them set up. Hoping that the discs don't need much or any shimming...
