Lighter wheels (road bike)

[Pig benis]

Hello folks

I had planned on buying a new bike, but everything I like is out of stock, so I'm going to wait until next year. So I thought I would spend a little money on my trusty Specialized Secteur 2012 road bike. I've had the bike for 9 years and it hasn't cost me anything other than inner tubes.

I would like to buy some lighter wheels + tyres and I was just wondering if you guys had any recommendations?

The bike is completely stock and I've always thought the wheels were on the heavy side.

Thank you
PB

I’m assuming rim brake and standard clinchers?

Fulcrum Racing 5 are a good wheel and not expensive.

Correct - rim brake and standard clinchers.

Okay great, I'll have a look. Thank you

Budget? Want to stay with aluminium or go carbon?

Up to £400 would be ideal, but happy to spend a bit more if needed. I don't mind either way tbh

I’m running Hunt Aero 30 and really can’t fault them. Great wheels and tubeless.

Ah ha I was looking at these wheels earlier today.

Would you say running tubeless is the way to go?
