Terrain wise, all rides involve a good bit of climbing. Tarmac is generally good, though there are times when it runs out and you are onto gravel fire roads.
As much as I'd love some deep carbon, the reality is that on balance there's more climbing than fast open road and I need a wheel that is easily fixable by the LBS to minimise time off the bike should something go wrong.
I'm just fighting my urge for bling over sensible. I've dropped Harry Rowland an email, so will see what he recommends.
