Looking for a set of new wheels for the Domane, fairly light, not too expensive.
Bender mentioned the Zondas are being updated with a new wider rim - any news on when they are being released?

Was just going to go for a set of cheap an cheerful Fulcrum Racing 5 LG - but these also seem to be out of stock with most big retailers (at least in shimano config) which is strange - are fulcrum updating too?

    Ah! :oops:
    Thanks for that - don't know how I missed them.
    Quite expensive for what they are - nearly twice the price of the Racing 5s for only a 500g weight saving....

    Fulcrums it is!

    500g is actually a huge weight saving when it comes to wheels!

    It is. However, the correct figure is about 50g not 500g.

    The 5 LG are very good indeed given the price.

    Yeah 50g is nothing in the grand scheme of things, racing 5 LG with gp4000 25mm will be more than good enough for me at a very reasonable price.

    I've bought the Racing 5 disc and they're quite lovely wheels
