I want a new (factory) wheelset (rim brake) that I can use year-round for commuting & training.
I've been using Shimano RS10 for the past 5-6 years and it looks like I can get RS11 for £115.

Fulcrum seem to be well rated though and the Racing 5 model look good value...Cartridge bearings though - Has anyone had any problems? My RS10 were maintenance-free and the hubs (cup & cone) spin as smooth as the day I bought them...

I had Racing 5 and they were great most of the time. Except if you need to true them, the nipples are aluminium and can seize onto the spokes. Then when you try to true them the spokes twist because they're aero shape. Never had a problem with hubs or bearings but I probably did <10k km on them
