better wheels then rs10s

radiation man

are there many better shimano wheels then the rs10s i prefer less spokes rs 10s have 20 rear spokes and 16 front but they seem to have a lot of flex, are there any other wheels in silver with similar spokes.

Better in what way? Lighter? More aero? More serviceable? They look cooler?

What are you using them for, and what's your budget?

i use them for sportive rides, ive never had any trouble with the bearings on these wheels, just flexing when climbing, my budget is up to £250

How do you know they are flexing? Brake rub is not a measure of flex as the frame could be flexing.
Also your pads maybe too close to the rim so just move them out and brake rub problem solved.

Higher spoke count and order deeper wider stiffer rims are the way to get reduced flex. Handbuilt is one way to do this but so is the scirroco 35mm wheelset from campag.

buckles

open pro/105 or excellight /105 or archetype/105 or either of the aforementioned rims on dura ace
