    Hello everyone!
    I’m going to upgrade my wheels, but not sure which model I should buy. I’m looking for durable wheels which will last a long time. I choose Shimano Dura Ace C24, but I’m afraid of wearing the rims on them. How long are they last? I’m also interested in Shimano RS81 C50, but I’m not sure which size will be right for me. Can you recommend more durable wheels (may be other brands) in price range like DA C24 and RS81 C50 or cheaper? Thank you for your answer!

    I have done the best part of 10,00km on my rs80-24’s and highly recommend them. Fastest with Ultremo’s in 23 but more comfortable with a 25mm tyre. That said, my commuting wheels are built round the Archtypes and 32 mm tyres and comfier still. 25’s would sit wider and cosier on the archetypes than the rs 80’s.

    What do you want from
    What do you want from wheels?
    If you say durable then something like H Plus Son Archetypes on decent hubs will fit the bill.
    Wiggle have them on DA hubs for £520, or Ultegra for £370.
    You could get them build up onto CK Hubs for around the same price as a C24
