    If you're not in a massive rush to go out and buy them, and with winter dragging it's heels, I wouldn't be, I'd keep an eye out on here/ebay/wherever for a good second hand set. People are fickle, and there are bargains to be had!

    What kind of riding do you do - and what differences are you expecting the new wheels to make?

    I had fulcrum zero's with light tubes and GP4000s tyres.
    I replaced these last summer with Hunt race aero wide wheels fitted with tubeless 25mm Schwalbe pro1 tyres - and I am very pleased.

    I live in Norfolk so fairly flat not to much climbing.. I'm no racer but like to keep eye on averages... Mainly sportive rider , I was hoping the difference may give me slight better rolling or bit quicker wheel..
