£300 wheelset

supercyril

I am carrying out a build of a winter training bike in time for this winter. My plan is to transplant the wheels from my Ribble Gran Fondo which are Shimano RS10s.

So i would like some advice on which is the best value wheelset at this price?

The groupset on my Ribble is ultegra and my initial thought were to get matching wheels however now i have started looking there seems so many available i am getting confused. £300 is my limit though i may go over for a great deal!

Thanks

RS80s from Merlin gets my vote. Slightly over budget now but, given that I paid £400 for RS80s from my LBS, Merlin is still a good deal.

+1 - what I replaced my RS10s with on my Cayo

RS80's are excellent and it looks like Ribble are now beating that Melin price (£311) -

Fulcrum 3's are also great wheels available around that price.

I had spotted them too. Even cheaper at Ribble than merlin £312.

meanredspider-did you notice much difference after swapping the wheels?
