Hi I'm thinking of blowing my annual bonus on some new wheels. Looking for carbon deepish wheel which will double as "best" wheelset and something which may also have an added benefit on my club TT (I'm not a TT regular so not essential).
I've seen these HED wheels and am wondering if anyone has any views? My shopping list includes:
1. Needs to be clincher not bothered with tubs
2. I want an alu braking surface
3. Don't fancy going any higher than 50mm
4. As light as possible really.
Any views or opinions gratefully received

Considered Mavic Cosmic Carbones? I plumped for these and find them great.
Similar in spec, weight and depth, etc.0 -
Yeah I've looked at em but I thought the 52mm was a bit too deep. I'll revisit them tho. Anyone else got any views?0

The Cosmic carbon SR or SLR are the obvious rivals to the HED, only 40g more if you believe the manufacturers and cheaper if you go for the SR. rim to rim carbon spokes look cool!0

I have a Stinger 9 (tub) and a Stinger disc Flamme Rouge (tub).
Very well made wheels.
I also have Zipp 404's, which are a nice depth for a 'jack of all trades' wheelset. But would probably buy HED if I needed to replace them.Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
Thanks for the advice, after originally discounting Ithem, went for the Mavic SR clinchers in stock on wiggle, cost I'm off friday and want to try them out before the weekend.
Couln't justify the purchase at all :roll: so went for the more "sensible" option of the cheaper wheel and fact that it seems to get Thor Hushovd's vote (at least in tubs anyway) which is good enough for me. Think they will probably also suit the bike a bit more.0
