Picked up a set of Hunt 40mm deep 25 internal width gravel rims last week. Mounted with RH 44mm tires. I run them 20-30 psi with tubolito tubes. Perfect for gravel here. This frees up an older Pacenti rimset for use for 28mm tires, which with a 21mm internal rim width, lets them plump out to 29-30mm (compared to my 13mm 16mm? internal rim width mavic road wheels- which squeezes the 28mm tires to 26mm). The 29mm is perfect for the imperfect road here.
Both rimsets are about 1400g. Both tiresets are lighter than unicorn farts. The pacenti's have never had one spoke touched in 6 years. The new hunts are fun and have an aero hum. With about 100 miles into them, all smiles.
Now I've got a road and gravel quick change wheelset. My road bikes are still fastest, but I'm planning a bike trip based around the pacenti/28mm combo on the gravel bike! The 28's on the pacenti's I run around 60 psi and are smooth as butter! )Compared to about 75- 80lbs for the mavic ssc rims- much more compliant, and lighter.
