    I’m thinking of splashing out on a set of carbon wheels and came across the Planet X CT45’s

    Has anybody got any experience of them? If so how do they perform?

    Cheers!!

    Just had a look at the PX
    Just had a look at the PX website

    My initial impressions are that they seem heavy – particularly in clincher form – but as usual for the company they are reasonably good value..

    It would depend on what kind of riding you do – the tubular version would make a reasonable all round wheelset – less affected by cross winds than most, some aerodynamic advantage from the depth and light weight for hills, but of course many are scared of tubs (don’t be!)

    The clincher – I don’t see the point, frankly. For TT, go deeper for the same weight, for an all-round wheelset, any aero advantage is negated by the extra weight, may as well stick to aluminium

    The CT45’s have only been on
    The CT45’s have only been on sale for a few months so experience maybe hard to get.

    For what it’s worth I have a set of PX 62mm clinchers. I love the rear wheel but hate the front. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nowt wrong with it. I just don’t like the way the bike is balanced, handles and feels compared to the PX Model B on the front. There again I’m not a fan of long flat and fast sections of road.

    Had I not splashed out on them, the CT45 would be on the bike now.
