r/tracklocross

Not talking about jump lines here, but maybe some rooty singletrack. Looking at the Ritchey Comp Zeta. I’m new to anything but mtbs but have been expanding my comfort zone (and stable) recently with new builds and restomods. Am looking to give new glory to a 90’s hybrid frame, and am considering new wheels this time. Rim brakes and qr’s in a wider profile 700c are darn hard to find. I guess the move to wider rims coincided with the move to disc brakes. To top it off I have a 126 old (but am comfortable pushing 130, would try 135 in a pinch). But I digress.

I like these ritchey wheels except they may be too lightly constructed for an atb. They boast of their robustness but idk.

Also any general tips for choosing solid go anywhere wheels that fit older road parameters?

Not quite a tracklocross wheelset, but I'm building up a squid bikes so ez v3.

I want some 700c, tubeless ready, rim brake wheels, that can fit up to 48mm tyres.

100mm front, 135mm back.

Realise this might require a custom build. Any pointers? Thanks for the help

What tyres are y’all running on the rear? I’m running Schwalbe CX Comps which are cheap and cheerful, handling anything I throw at them just fine, EXCEPT I’ve burned through 3 rears in 1000km.

I’m riding brakeless so I do a lot of skidding, but my ratio (51x20) should give me 40 skid patches (ambidextrous).

Any recommendations greatly appreciated as these things are almost single use at this stage. TIA!
