Hey,

I recently bought a pretty nice fitness bike (deore xt groupset, kalkhoff carbon frame+ forks. Brand never got any attention for some reason and both are out-of-production items) for a really good price and I want to make it a bit more "road-ready", faster in the straights and all that.

Currently it has some 1.75in Schwalbe tires, not sure exactly what model but they aren't really MTB tires, they have a slim contact patch but are still quite wide and probably heavy. And the wheels, same as tires, have no clue what they are, probably some no-name ones because I literally found nothing on them. 28in size

So I thought to myself I could probably get some decent wheels and tires for it and that should make the bike lighter and probably faster, right?

I'm looking to spend as little as possible while still not buying some no-name components. Something that is similar to the Shimano Acera groupset, but just in the wheel world, cheap-ish but not total crap. Clincher, disk-ready, 30-32mm tires would be optimal.

Only concern is the fork. Since it can take really wide tires, it would probably look really weird running slim tires when it was made to take wide tires, plus I'm not entirely sure if it can take 700c wheels.
