• Unfortunately the RS80's and DA's are out of my range, and I can't find a clincher set of EA70's for under £300 - My road bike is only a Cannondale CAAD job, looking for a cheap upgrade over the Gipiemme ones I've got which have worn out rims and are just not as stiff as I'd like.

    Looks like I'm going to go for the Ultegras for Shimano reliability or Pro-lite's for the weight and build...

    Looks like you could get the RS80's for £325, according to Regal's link.

    My merlin link had EA70's for £225, listing states clinchers.

    If you want performance, get the lighter RS80's. If you want toughness, get the Eastons

    If you want both, sell the dog, and buy the DA's.

    (IMHO etc.)
