    Can you not afford punctuation??

    What weight do Giant give for the existing wheelset?

    Usual suggestions for wheelsets around the £300 mark include Campag Zondas, Fulcrum Racing 3, Shimano Ultegra, Shimano RS81.

    If I was spending £300 on wheels I'd be getting some handbuilt loaclly. I am however getting on a bit and care much more about reliability and repairability than appearance / marketing bullsh1t. If you're a youngster you'll probably be wanting something with more bling and claims of marginal gains :D

    Go for the Zondas with their unusual spoke pattern but sensible cup and cone hubs...

    Handbuilt, a typical choice would be Novatec hubs and Ambrosio rims, 32 spokes.
