Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

As a heavier rider I'm always made to feel better when pacenti say 'no rider weight limit' for their rim. I'm hoping the Forza isn't delayed much longer as I want a dyno wheelset built up soon (SP front, Hope rear, 32h)

They arrived. No decals, think its laser. Would try acetone, but none in the house. But very subtle.
And I measure them at 19,3 internal. If Berlin wasn't completely white I'd install them and go for a ride...

Does anyone have a 60mm spare valve extension (for removeable valve-core) they'd want to post on to me for a couple ££? Don't particularly want to spend a fiver on a new pair when I only need one...

Let me have a look in the spares box.

Had a look - the ones I have are 45 mm long unfortunately.

As much as I hate the shop, Planet X usually sells the cheapest.

True, but I'm a bit of an anti-consumer thesedays. Apart from the chain, tyres and innertubes, my P3 is going to be all 2nd-hand.

Best budget-minded option for disc brake dynamo wheel?

Cheapest option for disc brake dynamo wheel?

Thinking about alternatives to buying a new battery light for commuting and audax.

SP Dynamo.

SP worked for me during TCR.

From reading the dynamo hub thread I get the impression Shimano hubs are a bit cheaper

Cheap recommendation wheelset for training?

There's 300 pages of potential suggestions right here.

Specifics?

Prices and people opinion changes all the time and usually I'm a sucker for online prices, (which is my downfall in life) so far it either fulcrum or shimano atm.

Any recommendations for lightweight wide shallow carbon or do i need to source rims from light-bicycle or similar?

Something like FFWD F2R but wider rim and not so pricey.

TIA

Decided to go for fulcrum racing 7, purely because of the wide rims and relatively decent price at ribble.

LB is a good rim choice IMO.

or there are these:

Yeah I think I'll go LB with some bitex hubs.

@edscoble @hippy Thanks for the advice. SP look the bomb and I know are highly regarded but cheapest prebuilt wheel I can find with them is £130 from SPA. That's nearly Exposure money for just the wheel. Is it realistic to get a whole setup (including lights) for under that sort of money?

What do you mean Exposure money? as in their battery powered light?

You can't compare apple and pear, dynamo and battery are two different thing, dynamo aren't cheap, but the fact you won't need to charge the lights anymore, and no need to worry about the battery running out, outweight the cheaper cost of the Exposure.

Look in the dynamo topic, there's a lots more information for you there.

Also you can always get something like the Busch & Muller Cyo IQ, they may not look as good or as reliable as a SON Edelux, but they're well priced and very bright.

Comparing batteries with dynamo is kinda what I'm trying to do. I may need to replace current Lezyne 1500 battery light and am thinking about whether a dynamo is financially feasible. Money's tight so I need to consider total immediate spend rather than value over time.

The B&M range had caught my eye, thanks for reinforcing that they're a safe option.

That's awesome, thanks Hippy!

Dynamo straight off the bat, is very expensive, but it paid itself the more you use it.

Battery are cheap, but you need to charge it twice, maybe three time a months.
