New wheels time - it's been ages since I bought a set (have been using up spares...)
So - Road bike. 95% tarmac riding on undulating terrain with some fairly short and sharp climbs on my normal routes. And I'm closer to 80kg than I'd like.
I'm pairing these with my first Disc brake bike (CAAD12) - it's not an aero race bike so no need for anything deeper than 35-40mm. And tyre width will only ever be 28-30mm max
Something like the Zipp 30 Course DB wheelset looks the goods - but - other options? Less pricey? Or more pricey, but better? So many options it seems and I'm out of the loop with current tech.
Would go hand built, just need to find a good builder in Sydney. Otherwise I've always been happy with factory. Wouldn't mind something just a bit fancier than the Fulcrums the bike comes with.
Cheers and I appreciate any suggestions.
