Hi all,
Currently have a Spesh Roubaix which came with their own brand axis 2.0 wheels. I find them a little on the flexi side being a rider around 90kgs. Am looking to upgrade and have a budget of £200. There seem to be lots of discounted wheels which come down to that sort of price.
Anyone done a similar upgrade or have any alternatives I should consider, am also thinking about the Ultegra6800 but am put off by the cone and cup hubs.

The cero ar24 wheels are meant to be excellent..

Or if you can up your budget a bit the ar30 wheelset is even better...

Both old fashioned narrow rims unfortunately.0

Too heavy for low spoke count wheels.
Need to push the budget a little and get some H Son Plus handbuilts.0 -
Fulcrum 5 are the best for the money, don't overthink it!0

Personally I think my Cero AR30 are better then my handbuilt archetypes on a fine day, they ride and respond better (subjective feel obviously). However, not sure how well the AR30 hubs would hold up to consistent poor weather.0
