These like the R460 rims are affordable and no-nonsense rims, but really about perfectly designed and speced, if you. The 470 has a 20mm internal and the 500 has 22mm internal width.

These are a great choice for those of you building a gravel bike from scratch, and may make a reasonable upgrade too – though if you're looking for a big step up, then look instead at the lighter, though more expensive G 1600 wheelset. The hub pick up is a tad slow, too, but for less pacey gravel and road rides where you're constantly spinning, it's not much of an issue. Nothing unlocks a bikes capability like tire clearance, so we gave the new Diverge a whopping 47mm of tire clearance with a 700c wheel and 2.1-inch with a 650b wheel. Weather we are building your custom wheels using DT spokes. An X-Fusion Manic dropper post comes standard, as well as our latest gravel tire designed for incredible traction, the Rhombus 42mm, on DT Swiss G540 alloy wheels.

Chris at Madison (distributor of DT Swiss) says "the slight porkiness is somewhat offset by their very generous 130 KG weight limit, with the popularity of gravel bikes for bike packing and light touring many people will going well over the 100KG system weight that many other wheels marketed for gravel top out at, all our gravel and cross clincher wheels are rated to 130KG". DT Swiss and custom bicycle wheels have been synonymous with each other for over 30 years. They do feel a little heavy at 1,895g, but you'd struggle to get lighter ones at this price. Paired with my Ribble CGR Ti longterm test bike, the G 1800 wheelset proved a solid partner both on the road and off.
