X-Man Posted November 24, 2011 Share Shimano Dura Ace CL Clincher 24 7900 1386 grams for R6k sounds like a great deal These are great wheels... Hubs are truely amazing!!! Click on link for review: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/components/wheel-sets/product/review-shimano-dura-ace-wh-7850-c24-tl-wheelset-10-35764/ Go for these or Fulcrum Racing Zero/ One OR Campy Shamals...

MTB_Roadie Posted November 24, 2011 Share Another good option is the Shimano RS80 wheels, exacly the same as the dura ace just with different hubs but the exact same rim. Weigh a few grams more and picked up a new set from CWC for R4000 Edited November 24, 2011 by MTB_Roadie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Carbon Posted November 24, 2011 Share Aerodynamic, stiffness and inertia comparison:http://www.rouesartisanales.com/article-15505311.html According to this wheel test my Shimano Wh-R550 wheels are aerodynamically amoung the best shallow rim wheels that you can get so i would be wasting money upgrading to anything other than a deep wheel. Which then opens up the debate of those wheels being hevier so what are the advantages? Now I'm even more confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which then opens up the debate of those wheels being hevier so what are the advantages? Now I'm even more confusedThe rough rule-of-thumb given by Zipp is that the aero advantages of a deep section wheel, such as the 404, compared to a shallow wheel like a 202, outweigh the weight disadvantages on any gradient up to 8%. You gain more power being aero than you lose being heavy. Basically, any race in SA will give you more advantage from aero than weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted November 24, 2011 Share Now I am totally confused Confused? That's 'cause you're shopping in a (virtual) boutique for poofter wheels. Get custom-built wheels. Build them with Hope hubs - any colour under the sun - (except green and violet), black SAPIM Laser spokes and a black Macix CXP-33 rim. These wheels are in for the long haul and when having to replace things on it, it isn't a part number from an obscure supplier, it is standard stuff anyone can supply and fit. You'll save money too.

Christie Posted November 25, 2011 Share Mavic wheels have 3 problems: (search the web fo "mavic wheel failure")1. Freebody shifts and starts to squeal2. Nipples that seize to the rim3. rims that crack at the spoke holes due to the manufacturing process If you are going to spend some $$$s, get something else. Shimano or Campy (I prefer Neutrons over Eurus/Shamal) both good - buy according to your groupset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
