• Looking for some new wheels for my roadie Donohue. Currently using some slightly knackered Dura-Ace C24s, but their braking surface is pretty much shot, & I don't trust them for touring. The wheelset I used to use (Cero AR24s) I broke the front touring (cattle grid in Spain, broke some teeth too) & the rear has so much play in the hub it's not worth using (got my money's worth though). After something suitable for both fast riding & touring.

    Ideal criteria:

    • 11 speed Shimano freehub.
    • Rim brake.
    • > ~20 spokes.
    • Relatively shallow section.
    • < ~1.6kg.
    • < ~£300.


    Am thinking it would probably be best to look into building my own from parts, don't really know where to start though. Anyone got any suggestions?
