Training wheelset - R1500 - R3500

Hi guys

 

Need some advice on a training wheelset. I have a set of Dura-Ace 7850-CL50 which I will use for racing. They are great for all-purpose, but I just want to save the braking surface - living in cape town takes it's toll with all the mountains.

I want to buy a set of cheap (ish) training wheels. I weigh 95kg so I want something that's strong and stiff but I don't care about weight necessarily. I just want something that I can ride on anything without worrying.

 

I'd like to spend between 1500 and 3500 (CWC or CRC/WIggle etc prices).

 

I have looked at Fulcrum 5's, Shimano RS-30, ultegra 6700 (bit more expensive).

 

Does anyone have any strong oppinions about a particular wheel in this range?

You want to save the braking surface?

If that's your "problem" then you don't have a problem. Ride those damn wheels and save your money to relocate overseas.

I'm training on a 28H handbuilt set that is 10 years old. They are as true as the day they were built.

 

True story?
