I'm looking for the best buy for maximum results for my boardman team carbon. A friend of mine recommended pro-lite bracciano wheels. Do like the silver finish!

£306 on CRC. Is there a better/lighter wheelset inside my budget of £350?
And would i really notice the difference from my current ritchey pro wheels?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks.

    I have not used these personally but I believe that they had a 9/10 rating in a previous edition of Cycling Plus magazine. They calimed that they were very good value for the money.

    I have the Bracciano's. Very good wheels for the money - smooth and lighter than anything I could find in the price range. Not as stiff as some, but that makes them comfortable, and they have stayed true and running smooth through the winter salt and potholes (so far anyway).

    I have some cheaper Pro Lites, Luciano from memory, used for exactly the same reason, have been 100% more reliable than the Ritcheys, slightly stiffer and nicer looking.

    If the Bracciano are equally well made you'll certainly notice the differance.

    Nice to be a little differant to the norm aswell, especially as we're riding such an exclusive bike. :wink:
