    Hi there,

    Any one got any insight on these Deda 30mm AL wheels?
    http://www.dedaelementiruote.com/en/WD30ALCL.htm

    Look like they will tick the box when it comes to a low weight alloy training wheel with an aero advantage.

    At 1450g I am seriously tempted by these hoops!

    Any real word experience would be great.

    Thanks.
    Mike

    Price I’m looking at is
    Price I’m looking at is £410.

    For a sub 1500g wheelset.

    Ok take away training – replace with ‘fun wheels from March till October’. Happy to ride dogs in winter.

    And no to the Shimano wheels – thanks! :-p

    That’s a lot for training
    That’s a lot for training wheels. Did you consider the Shimano Ultegra wheels?

    not aero but do you need that for training?

    A new local LBS can source
    A new local LBS can source these and I also thought they looked interesting, but I’ve drawn a blank on finding out much about them.

    This was what led me in the direction of the Wheelsmith Aero 38 clinchers mentioned in the Aithein thread – they are an extra £180 sterling, but are handbuilt and come with a lot of positive experiences. Additionally, (and I don’t know how much difference this would make, it might be marketing BS) the Deda are a v-section rim shape, so potentially susceptible to crosswinds, whereas the Wheelsmiths are a bulbous U-shape described as being similar to the Enve 3.4 smart wheel system, so potentially less susceptible to crosswinds. Admittedly they are also 8mm deeper, which may cancel out any benefit in this area.

    Thanks. Yup, I saw this review. CCLs look good, info on the ALs would be grand.
