    Basically as the title says I’m after a sub £200 wheelset. The cheaper the better but I want a good pair of wheels for the money that will be reliable, preferably not to heavy and a bit racy

    They are intended to go on a Canyon Ultimate AL SLX frameset

    All suggestions are welcome as there appears to be a lot of choice at this price range and I am struggling to seperate the wheat from the chaff

    Thanks

    Having previously experience Planet X Al30’s I have to say I had already discounted them as an option.
    I was gearing towards quattro’s previously however I do quite like the look of the Cero AR24’s. They would suit my riding preference as well

    Thanks for all the suggestions

    Don’t get planet x al30’s: they are light and stiffish and aero, however the spokes are made of absolute cheese.
    I’ve snapped at least 4 on 2 different sets within 2000 miles X(

    I’ve found one. The flimsy sound of the freehub. Nerd I do prefer them to make a more meaty noise. Ah well. Guess I can’t have *all* the nice things.

    The freehub is ‘loud and proud’ rather than ‘Silent and deadly’ (my preference) – but I have to say that is bothered me a lot less than I thought it would. I think that having the noise behind you is rather better then infront.

    I’ve had a pair of Fulcrum Quattros for a couple of years. They’ve been reliable and stayed true. Fairly noisy freehub but I quite like that. Can’t really feel an aero effect (over, say, Aksiums or Fulcrum 5s) but they’re probably not deep enough for that. I also have a pair of Intrepid RC24s that Cycle Division used to sell – much the same spec as the Cero AR24s at around 1500g. Now I really *can* feel the difference with those (lightish) wheels – they spin up much faster and I feel I do get some benefit on climbs. IMHO, it depends on the type of riding you do – mainly cruising on the flat, go for Quattros. If it’s hills and changes of pace, go for the Cero AR24s or similar.

    For price, the weight and aero profile seems crazy, but so far I have yet to find any drawbacks.
