Hi Guys,

I'm after all rounder wheel for roadracing and time trials. Something not too heavy for the hillier RR's and something aero for TT's.

I am considering the following:

Any other suggestions or your thoughts on the wheels above would be apreciated.

Cheers!

    Go to this website and choose the rim depth you think works best for your needs. Stick some bangin' Chris King hubs on them and still spend less than the mass produced junk.

    My advice is don't roadrace any wheel that you can't afford to write off...

    Personally, I would not try and mix those two requirements as they do not align. Most TTs are flat and benefit from good quality deep section wheels, most road races end up in a risky scrap for the line and good quality aero wheels will play very little part in getting the racer to that point. Hence, get something reasonably cheap, light and stiff for racing (Zonda C17s, Fulcrum3, Quattros LG even) and then some nice bling for the TT.
