I'm currently building out a gravel bike frameset that I bought last fall (https://road.cc/content/review/24800...t-cycles-secan), and I'm looking for some 700cc wheel recommendations in the $500-800 range. I kind of blew my budget on the frameset so can't get too crazy pricey with wheels (but then again, I'll probably have this bike for 10+ years, so I may be able to be convinced to go higher if it truly makes a difference).

I'll be mostly using it for general city riding/commuting on pathways/roads, but want it to be able to handle the occasional trail as well. I'm thinking I'll probably have around 32-35 width tires on it.

Any thoughts/recommendations? The fully built bike is optioned with with Mavic Allroad or Hope 20Five RSR wheels.
