I am currently wanting to upgrade my wheelset. I ride a Cervelo S1 with a set of Easton Circuit and want to upgrade to a more responsive set of wheels. I am situated in the Hout Bay area and so I train on Chappies and along the Cape Point area a lot, therefore wind is a factor to take into account. I generally ride at about 30km/h and am looking for a set of wheels to take me to the next level, although I know that the work that I put in is most important (not the equipment). My focus is the Half Iron Man event and hence aerodynamics is also important. I can buy a set of fulcrum One for R 6 000, or Fulcrum One 2-way for R 8 000, or the Fulcrum Zero for R 9 000 or a set of Zipp 101 for R 8 300. I don't want to spend too much as I want to upgrade to a Trek Madone in the next 3 years so would rather spend the extra cash then. My aim is to buy a set of wheels that will be good for training and racing. I.e. Improve my performance and in doing so feel that I have spent my money well on an upgrade. Any comments would be much appreciated.

I have now decide that my options are as follows: 1. Zipp 101 2. Fulcrum Zero 3. Easton AE90 Aero Most have already commented on the first 2, any experience with the Fulcrum Zero's?

I have also added the SRAM S30 to my options...

I am a huge fan of my S1. I was originally told that a carbon frame was the way forward but I chose the S1, I have never regretted my decision. I find it to be very responsive. I also find it to be quite light at 8.5 kg's. I would highly recommend it. I would love to get a pair of carbons but I train a lot in windy conditions. I am looking for more of a training/racing wheel. Any thoughts?
