Just bit the bullet. R45s laced to DT Swiss 240s via Sapim CX Rays, with red alloy nipples to match the red badge on my Lynskey.

Likely picking up a new cassette (SRAM-1170 11-28 or Ultegra 11-30), and new rotors so I can use the original wheels as backup. Or maybe gravel (for the 1-2x a year I might do that).

These will be replacing Vision Team 30s with an HG800 11-34 and Shimano 86-series rotors. No complaints about braking, but the slow acceleration and wide spaced gearing always irked me relative to my other bikes (both with rim brakes, but lighter wheels and closer-ratio cassettes).

Depending on the supply chain situation, maybe I'll get the new wheels on before the end of summer!
