Need a wheelset

mancsi, May 13, 2012

I am looking for a wheelset. I want clinchers, carbon with alu breaking. I run Shimano 105 10 speed. I would like them around 30mm deep, for everyday use on commutes and weekend rides and sportives. I want that 20mph+ hummmm. What about recommendations or if anyone has a set I would gladly take them off you. £800 ish I wouldnt want to spend more but suggestions will be much appreciated.

I saw the reviews, they have limited options though? Are they 50mm aswell?

Easton ea50 sl are quite good.

Handbuilt and quite cheap

Mavic Cosmic Carbone +1

i love mine use them for most rides, even at 50mm deep only really strong winds make them abit twitchy when riding

look great too

Nothing say's i love you like Lactic Acid

I've got the Shimano RS80s, which are lovely. The Dura Ace c24s are the same rim with a better hub, i believe. If you're using them for the commute i certainly wouldn't want anything better than that...

Got to be the Mavic Carbone SL - fantastic, but they are 50mm and not 30..

50mm is a little too deep, I dont think they'd be the best in and around Manchesters 'great' roads. Its a tough one!
