Not familiar with stone, quick search resulted in nothing, got a link? I guess I’ll need to make sure I’ll find a 42T with a bolt circle diameter of 110 x 4. Over and out..way too late here..

Opinion: No name wheels are a crapshoot. Wheels, stemsand bars are the items you do not want to break when descending a steep portion of a course. I'd recommend going with a brand that offers wheels that have been approved by the UCI. This means that the company actually put some effort into their product. Reynolds, ICAN, ZIPP, etc. all have UCI approved wheels.

Completely agree, the risk is not worth saving a few $$$, especially since I ride my gravel bike in rough terrain. I’ll stick with DT Swiss wheels and have to think hard if I really will use the fork from either ICAN or Carbonda. I guess the number of positive carbonda reviews is comforting, but I have yet to come across a user taking their rig out into rough terrain. Who knows, maybe I’ll stick an oversized MTB carbon fork into that 969 frame...;-)
For what it is worth, I've hit some rough stuff on the X-Gravel. Rough enough to burp flat and convince me to double wrap my bars. I also have ICAN wheels on my TT that have hit potholes at higher speeds (20+mph). One I hit training on the IMFL course, it was a square edged hole that was about a foot wide. I seriously thought I cracked the wheel or the frame, the rider in front of me actually heard it and asked if I was OK. We were going pretty fast, in the mid 20's. The casualties were a flat and a cracked headset bearing. That convinced me that ICAN wheels were plenty strong and gave me faith in the brand.

Agreed. I certainly haven't researched all the brands on that list, however, from the few Chinese carbon wheel makers I have researched, while Yeoleo and Light Bicycle appear to have many options and verified quality, their prices are also higher.

ICAN and Far Sports are also on the list. But I've heard of Far Sports not honouring warranty. Take it FWIW
Hello, anyone can tell me if this would work on the fork screw holes? available is M6 or M8 screws. I'm aware they're too long so I've got to get the shorter ones. TIA
I bought a shorter stem, 70mm. The front end floats over sand and mud much better. Truly love this X-Gravel bike. Waiting for the weather to break, Heat advisories last few days, feel like temps of 105~112F. For now, we are keeping our rides short, an hour or two max.
i purchased the ICAN AC388 frame a little over a year ago and it has been fantastic. Great customer service and the quality of the frame looks very good and has been rock solid for me. i ride 5-6 days a week on a mix of road and gravel. Full ultegra mechanical hydro build, Rolf Hyalite wheels, 38 Gravelking SKs, that measure 40. Thinking about getting an ICAN wheelset as well as the frame quality has been grand.

ICAN is under the approved companies from the UCI list. So should be fine, plus people are giving good reviews for them. If you want a little more customization straight from factory, you could try Light Bicycle.

Thanks, from what I've seen ICAN is bit less expensive, especially when you email them. They are very helpful. I'm just looking for DT hubs with carbon rims.

That's because they have a local USA warehouse. They don't have a 24-25mm ID wheel that's 40-50mm deep. I was looking for that and LB had the closest spec for a good price.
Go for the ICAN! Don't think you'll be disappointed 🙂
good to hear the positive support for ICAN. i too am looking for the 40-50mm depth with a wide ID. ICAN has a new 42C-SL asymmetric rim that looks very good but it has a 21mm ID. 27.6mm OD. I'm torn between this rim and their 35C rim, 21mm ID with 29mm OD. I would need to go with a DT240 hub on the 42 rim to match the weight of the 35 rim with a DT 350 hub. It's not a big price difference but my budget is pretty tight. I am shallow and appreciate the look of the slightly deeper rim.

I know what you mean hahaha... What I'm doing is getting a cheap 650b Alu wheelset and save up for the carbon wheelset to be purchased at a later date
that's been my plan and why i went with the Rolf's first. The Rolf's were a good price and they look nice enough but i don't think anything beats deep carbon! A buddy of mine has the ICAN 35c wheels and they look very nice, UD finish, DT350 hubs but i think the 42C rims would really be just that touch bit more attractive. And maybe even a slightly bit faster.
