The 105s are fine, but I' aiming a bit higher than that. I'm considering old-style DA, but ideally I'd like something brand new.
@mdcc_tester yes all those benefits make sense, except for rolling resistance; surely a wider rim would result in a larger area of tyre in contact with the road?
To put all this in context, I'm replacing a set of RS80 C24s, which are around £350, and I have found them fast and reliable, but they are pretty fugly. My budget for a wheelset this time is around £600 (possibly more if I go for Chris King)
