Miche high-end wheels

I've been looking at several wheels deeper than 30mm which will be used in both TT's and triathlons. So it's never easy to know where to put "all the eggs"; the deepest ones might be best for TT's but I'm sure they'd be an absolute pain in the butt to drag up hills on the likes of the Clitheroe Triathlon (it includes Longridge Fell, and other tri's in the northwest include similarly tough bike sections).

So given that it might be a good idea to not quite put "all the eggs in the aero basket", I thought these 38mm beauties might be worth looking at: http://www.miche.it/en/catalogo-ruote/s ... swr-carbon

Anyone got experience of these wheels?

    They look pretty crap to me, not particillaly aero and pretty damn heavy. They look like the worst of both worlds rather than a good compromise.
    I'd look at something like Reynolds instead.

    Is that because all carbon wheels that have alloy braking surfaces tend to weight quite a lot? And which Reynolds wheels do you mean, the Assaults?

    Yeah, they do tend to be heavier, not an issue if you are going for proper aero.

    The Reynolds assaults are a very good compromise...
