hi , im looking for a new set of wheels for racing. I am 5' 7'' and weigh 120 lbs. I have a cannondale supersix with shimano ultegra. I race mostly crits on flat/ rolling terrain, no big mountains in sight so I am looking for a deep section wheel around 50mm. I am looking to spend between $1000 and $1600.

some of the wheels that I have come up with so far are:
-Fast Forward f6r tubulars
-Reynolds Assault tubulars
-Vision Trimax carbon tc50 tubulars
-Fulcrum racing speed tubulars

any suggestions on which ones or any other wheels that fit the bill?

    Just to throw another option into the mix - have you looked at the Boyd carbon wheels? I had some of the old style ones sent over to the UK and they have been great. The new version are supposed to be very good.

    I think Chain Reaction have loads of deep rims, including Dura-Ace on sale if memory serves plus the 10percent off till Wednesday :)

    HED stinger?
    Bit off budget but maybe you can find an offer

    Otherwise why not asking Wheelbuilder.com to build you a set of Zipp 404 on some decent hubs? I think it works out around $ 2,000 if I remember well
