    about the shamals.....

    ive looked but cant find anywhere that sells them in titanium colour, and with simano hub?

    also, how do they handle in sprints?

    Another vote for Carbon Cosmics. I've had Zipps, Corimas, Shamals, tri-spokes, etc, but the cosmics are the best riding all round wheelset I've used.

    Best wheels for 800 quid will have a very expensive bike attached to them!

    m2d..
    Dave's Speed Dream Aero wheels are tough to beat at any price...I'm not sure why/how Dave came up with the 'Speed Dream' description, but I can tell you that they're one super tough wheelset and will ride any surface like riding on a nice plush carpet...
    (about £326 + shipping)
