I'd like to upgrade my wheels on my Specialised Allez and am looking to spend up to £300 for the pair. I'm heavy (95kg) so need something that is:

- durable and won't fall apart (as my lardy arse has a knack of finding every pothole in the road);
- faster than the Alexrims DA16s issued with the bike; and
- good for sportives. :?:

Any suggestions appreciated.

    Fulcrum Racing 5's are highly recommended for under £200, Mavic Ksyrium's for upto £300 (depending upon model) or even Mavic Aksiums for £100-£120.

    Most wheels are pretty good these days, probably don't go for ultra light ones if they are every day wheels.
