    Pro-Lite Braccianos are
    Pro-Lite Braccianos are frequently recommended here, being both light and durable. But they do seem to be more expensive than they used to be. People were picking them up for less than £200 for a set.

    FYI the rs30s are heavier
    FYI the rs30s are heavier than the rs20s and seem only to differ in the rim depth.
    Been thinking about something along these lines in the £140 ish bracket myself but torn between some factory wheels and paying a little more for some handbuilts.

    Spoke availability seems ok for Mavics but I’m not so sure for the shimano wheels. At the planet x al30 (which seem too new to have got any reviews) they use regular j-bend aero spokes so shouldnt be too tricky for spares.

    whihc pro-lite wheels are you talking about The Hatter? the Como?

    +1 for Aksiums
    R7 are very decent training wheels too but they do have a very loud freehub. You won’t have any problems with pedestrians hearing you approach when you’re freewheeling on the R7s

    Check out Mavic Aksiums, they’re in the same price bracket… I’ve had my current set for just over 2 years, 2 and a half batteries in my cycle computer (probably about 10,000 miles) and still haven’t had them serviced, because they simply haven’t needed it! I’ve been off road and everything on them and have had absolutely no bother with them, couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Cycling plus has wheels in test this month. My dad just ordered some Cole c24 lites but they only arrive at the end of the month so can’t say how good they are yet.

    I’ve been riding fulcrum
    I’ve been riding fulcrum racing 7s for a couple of years – they came new with my current bike, but I ride them all the time, not just winter. Have done 1000s of miles on them, commuting, touring with panniers, over the cobbles of the tour of flanders, and even some offroad. They also fit 32mm clinchers if you feel like some cyclocross.
    Had to replace 1 spoke, because I stuck my foot in the wheel while the bike was still moving. Even with a rider that stupid they seem to do fine. Replacement spokes are easy to find (unlike some other makes).
    It took me 2 years to destroy the bearings in the hubs, but have put a few thousand miles in since they were replaced and there’s been no problem at all.
    In short – pretty robust.
