New wheels - Reynolds ATR X. The Shimano Ultegra C50s I've been using are now mounted with GP5000STR 32s for using this bike on road rides. The Reynolds are mounted with my favorite Tufo Swampero/Thundero 40s. I didn't put them on a scale, but the weight of the 2 wheelsets feels really close, and I can't tell a difference between them out in the wild. The Reynolds have a slightly wider inner width (23mm vs. 21mm), a slightly shallower depth (40mm vs. 50mm), and a more round profile than the Shimanos. The Reynolds freehub is louder. These usually sell for $1699. Amazon has them right now for $798 (maybe being discontinued?)
