Wheelset dilemma: Roval CLX 32s vs. Bontrager Aelous Pro 3 vs. Mercury M3
 
What are your thoughts, pros and cons, if prices were similar?

I am looking for: carbon, 30-35 mm rim depth, clincher, center lock, 12 mm thru-axle, disc. I ride mostly road on a Specialized Ruby Comp. Is there any benefit (perceived or real) in going with the Rovals to stay in the Spesh family? I read that the Mercury M5s are 6-bolt only, but there are converters available. And can all QR wheels be converted to TA?

Thanks for all your help, guys.

There are adapters to go from Centerlock to 6-bolt, but not the other way around, not that I'm aware of, at least.

No, not all QR hubs are convertible, though swappable end caps are becoming more common.

Didn't Specialized make their own odd ball rear hub specs for some of their bikes? If so is this one of them?

Just got the Aeolus Pro 3 on Friday and so far I love them. I switched from 50mm wheels because here in south Florida you can get blown around on A1A passing the high rises
