tubular wheel purchase
I'm looking to buy a new set of tub wheels but finding reviews hard to come by for my shortlist. Anybody out there got an intimate knowledge of the following:
DT SWISS RC38 Spline
Richey WCS Apex II 38
Deda WD45CTU
Opinions for discussion welcome, proposed use 70/80k crits where acceleration is important.
Regards
FE

I have a pair of RC38 T Spline's for sale.
I bought them in October 2015 and used just the front for 300km while my Lightweights were being serviced. The rear has never been used.
I found the front excellent - light, rigid, and very smooth spinning.
Having ridden Zipp 303's I would say these wheels are superior, and significantly cheaper.
