I am building a Van Nic road bike. I have got frame and 'red' groupset carbon fork, stem and bars etc. The question is - what wheels? This is going to be a road club bike and perhaps looking to spend as much as £500. All the offers from the different websites are sold out or won't take SRAM. This is the last component choice. Help?

    Shimano Dura Ace WH7850 C24 CL are my recommendation. They are light, bizarrely comfortable, pretty stiff, fairly aerodynamic, look good and spokes are easy to come by if ever needed...

    In budget when you apply the 10% basket discount.

    +1, this is what was also recommended to me on this forum and they are excellent wheels, believe me. Strongly recommended and much preferred over a set of Zipp 404's which I had on a previous bike.
