I'm looking for a new pair of wheels to replace the stock Fulcrum Racing 7s that came with my new bike (a Genesis Zero).
I'm not sure if this will be an immediate purchase or something for the future (after all, racing 7s aren't terrible). The only thing that might change this is an impending trip to the Alps and a desire to lose bike weight.
I have a set of Hope Pro 3 x Archetype on another bike that have served well so ideally I'd be looking for handbuilt rather than factory. I was thinking some Novatec hubs with some light rims (Kinlin XR19?) but Flo 30s do look tasty and would go with the stealthy / aero look of the new bike.
I'm 65-70kg, and these would be summer use only so they don't have to be super tough. I'd prefer to keep it clincher (it's all I know) and have something with an Alu brake track.
So - lightweight or aero? Any thoughts on combinations that work well?
EDIT - 11 Speed and not too bling - I can't afford CK :(
