Think I've decided I'd like some carbon clinchers (rim brakes), getting them built isn't an issue, but I could do with spec recommendations.
The only thing that I think I know I want is
Hubs? I'd like; fairly bombproof, competitive weight, not hideously expensive, black or silver with as un-garish logos as possible. Miche? They seem underrated, cheap, reliable, just not overly sexy or weight weenie, I can live with that if they never go wrong.
Spokes? CX-rays seem the obvious choice? Worth the money? My current wheels use them and they're ruddy stiff. Anything else worth looking at? Where's the best place to buy them?
