    Try Swiss side St Bernard wheels. http://www.swissside.com/shop/st-bernard-wheelset . I replaced stock wheels on a carrera TdF & it felt like having extra gears. Wheelset was lighter than just the rear of the stock wheels.

    I don't know anything about wheels though. Would be interested if anyone thinks it's worth upgrading the ritchies that came with my Boardman. Only a sportive and commuter here though, no racer. That Swiss site looks interesting too, but I don't like the graphics on the St Bernards.
