Recommend me some wheels.....

[Catchme]

I am riding Aksium Race with Conti Race clinchers at the moment. Looking to upgrade to give me a bit more speed over short time trials (5-10 miles). Budget between £300-£500 for some used hoops - what's the PH view....?

For your money you could get a set of Planet X 101/82mm or 82/50mm or 50/50mm tube carbon wheels complete with good quality tubs.

These wheels are good value for money and not that heavy if you worry about weight, I have a set of 50/82mm Planet X wheels as well as a set of Dura ace C24's and a set of 46mm Swiss DT carom clinchers I have weighed the wheels and although I do not have the exact weights ( as i am away from home) but the only wheel that was 100g heavier that anyone of the others was the Planet X 82mm rear wheel, and here is another but as one of the other rear wheels has a Ti straight through cassette on it, the others are steel cassettes.

EITHER:

www.wheelsmith.co.uk, discuss your requirements and get some bespoke wheels

OR

Shimano RS80s, with change left over for some nice rubber and a new cassette.

Also have a word with Harry Rowland, nice guy and know's his stuff.

Can probably get Dura Ace C24 for that sort of cash used.
