Best Carbon Clinchers?

[Patchelicious]

Hi,

 

I am in the market for some new wheels.

 

My criteria is:

 

Full Carbon

Clincher (No, I will not go tubby)

Not too deep, in the 303 type depth bracket.

Around the R30k mark

 

What are the options out there? Opinions?

 

If you have links to good local deals, they will be most welcome.

 

I just want a change. If you want some cool Carbon wheels with a PowerTap built in, go look in the classifieds, there is a good deal! 

 

Edit: They are going on a Colnago C60, so they must be HOT too

FWIW though, I'd seriously consider importing through Light Bicycle / XMCarbonSpeed.

Some Bora's Delano just got a set from Wiggle at around that price. Enjoying them, also will do well with the colnago

Really like my American Classic Carbon 40's, they were about R18000

If you keen Patch, they on special here: https://www.evobikes.co.za/wheels/wheelsets-road/american-classic-all-carbon-40-s.html

 

Kevin has those, no issues.

[Long Wheel Base]

ENVE.

Was your frame ok from the crash or is this a replacement?

How you feeling? Can't be that bad if your already on the wattbike.

Not fit for a Colnago C60, too bland. 

It deserves something special, like the Bora's.

I would suggest adding tubeless to your criteria.

If you want to spend 30k Rather look for something like this: 

http://www.darkhorsewheels.com/shop/road/44-dh-slf-36c.html

 

and then spend the extra cash to buy yourself a powermeter. and after that you should have enough money left to take angry wify on a date to justify the money you spent 

[s14phoenix]

I really like the Zipp firecrests or 454s - evobikes has specials - but on your bike some original campy wheels to go with your group will be pornstar.

FWIW though, I'd seriously consider importing through Light Bicycle / XMCarbonSpeed. 

Light Bicycle now supply rims to Industry Nine for their branded I9 wheels. I just happen to have Project321 hubs which use I9 freehub.

 

So technically I have I9 wheels rebranded as my own.

But they are not anywhere near R30k and in Jozi that is the important thing, not the quality of the build.

CRCs Prime wheels?They seem to offer great value for money given the generally excellent reviews and comparably low price. With a R30k budget, you'll have plenty dosh left over. Somehow, marginal gains just came to mind thinking about that budget.

[Breezer]

Why not just get 303's

Another question: Disc or old fashioned primitive rim brakes?

 

If tubeless rim brakes I'd go with ENVE 3/4 laced to Chris King R45 with Sapim CX-Ray as a hard on inducing custom wheel set.
