Wheels: wide, aero, alloy – is it a case of “pick 2”?

    I’ve only got a modest budget, and am looking for a set of wide, deep wheels. 

    I currently run 2 wheelsets:

    1. H Plus Son Archetypes on Hope RS hubs. These roll like a dream, corner on rails, but don’t hold speed
    2. Prolite Bracchiano a42. They are faster but narrower, and are more prone to punctures due to the lightbulb effect on the tyres. Plus they’re noisy in a not-very-nice way – they sound like a bag of spanners on most roads. 

    Im not too worried about weight – I’m 85kg – but I want something fast that isn’t hugely expensive. Not a big fan of cheap carbon on Novatec hubs – have seen them failing with guys in my club.

    If your budget can stretch to

    If your budget can stretch to it the Maviv Cosmic Pro Carbon 2017 could be what your after. Wide (ish), deep and even quite light. They have an alloy braking surface.
