I was thinking of spending up big time for some nice new wheels for my Orbea - anyone got any strong feelings on a pair of deep rim carbons versus something like a Mavic Ksyrium ES?

If you can afford it, get some Lightweights. You won't regret it - there's nothing you can buy to bring you greater joy! You have to convert to tubs, but it's worth it.<hr>

Any suggestions? And don't you have to glue tubs on? Scary.0

I bought a pair of Reynolds DV46C (clincher). They look the part, even if I don't, and they are light and very well built. I would be scared to death to buy anything that had all carbon spokes and that could not be trued!0

a couple of questions. Are you going to TT with it? Are you in a windy area? what's your budget.

es are probably best for all round but if your sticking to flat carbons are better. Planet X are reported to be very good and decent price but if you double your money can get mavic cosmic or even better dura ace carbon.0
