Specialized Diverge E5 Elite Gravel bike - new wheelset
Hello all, first post here!
I bought a Specialized Diverge E5 Elite Gravel bike July 2020. Absolutely love it, my first road/gravel bike of any sort and i find it so comfortable.
I'm looking at getting a new wheelset to fit over summer for more speed when riding road only.
Don't even know where to start looking - i'm completely new to it all but was recommended buying a new wheelset to improve speed.
Max spend i'm looking at is around £500.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Cheers, Jonny.

Have you considered checking on the used market? 500$ isn't a lot for 2 complete wheels.
As Rivers said, DT Swiss could be an option. They are strongly built and very reliable.

Thanks, I have considered looking for a used pair too yes.
In terms of compatibility, would these be easy enough to fit for a beginner?
