    hi guys, thinking about getting a new set of wheels for xmas, but there are so many to choose from :/ . so far i’ve been thinking about going for a set of hand builts (bww blackset race 11) but shimano (rs80) and pro-lite (bracciano) also seem to have a light wheel in my price range. i plan to be using these wheels for everything (not cyclo-cross) and i weigh just under 60kg

    BRACCIANO all the way..

    I brought a light used set back in April and am well happy with them. Mine weigh in at 1480g if I remember rightly and literally help me fly up the hills.

    Really well built set of wheels and never had any problems at all. I luckily picked mine up for I think £170 and then replaced the Campy freewheel with a Shimano one, so £200 all in..

    Cant say enough good stuff about them.

    Strongly suggest you Google
    Strongly suggest you Google Dave Hinde’s reputation before you buy anything from him – unless you can walk into his shop, see the product and pays your money, you might be in for a wait..
    FWIW Ambrosio Zeniths are rebranded Novatec hubs and can be found for significantly less elsewhere.

    I’ve had the Bracciano since the spring and they are a great wheel. Cheapest for the weight and I can’t fault them.
    Dave Hinde has some good deals on involving Ambrosio Zenith hubs which are highly rated.

    I am running a set of the shimano RS80 C24’s and I’m really pleased with them. You don’t say what your budget is so its hard to make any recommendations. If I’d had a bit more to spend I would have definitely gone the handbuilt route. Have a look at wheelsmith.co.uk for some ideas. There is a useful price grid so you can see what different options will cost. Personally I would have gone for the 30mm IRD aero’s for around £600.
