Dura Ace 9000 c24 or Fulcrum Racing Zero
Been wanting to upgrade wheels for a while and a good excuse has just cropped up - hubs on wheels on winter bike have finally given up the ghost, so Fulcrum 4s (these will take a nine speed cassette right?) can come off the summer bike - and I've narrowed it down to these two.
I can get either for pretty much the same money. Fulcrums are marginally more expensive but I can live with that if the premium is justified. The Shimanos, I believe, are fractionally lighter and I've read good things about the ride smoothing out the road surface, which in the UK has got to be a blessing.
I'm a little over 70kgs so that is not really a consideration.
Nice problem to have, but I really don't know which to go with - input would be appreciated...
