Zipp Team Issue Wheelset

[GhostRider2]

I am in the market for a new wheelset (road).

 

My budget is up to R5k.

 

I found these: Click.

 

Are they any good?

 

How would they compare to something like the Mavic Wheels in the same price range or the Shimano Ultegra range of wheels?

 

I don't race, just a leisure cyclist.

 

Looking for something light and strong.

That Zipp wheelset is not worth it. That hub design was replaced by Zipp - they had poor sealing, so took in water and dust. The rim is a standard DT swiss rim.

 

Factory clincher wheels I like:

Shimano Shimano Dura-Ace C24 CL 7900 (or something like that.)

alternatively:

Campagnolo Neurtons (or /Neutron Ultras, if you can spend a bit more)

 

Something like Fulcrum Racing 3s.
