    Have a look at these:

    I've got the 50mm version and they're great. There's a a slightly lighter RP version too. Comes with a Shimano freehub but they sell Campag freehubs too (or just use a Shimano cassette if it's 11 speed).

    I got some Reynolds Assaults a couple of months ago which I'm running tubeless and have been great.

    I was looking at these, the 50mm version, but I see they have disappeared from the CRC website - still on Wiggle though. I've sent an email asking if they are going to be re-stocked, because I'd rather get them from CRC as I'd get 10% British Cycling discount.
    Plus the only RP-50 clincher they have is listed as recycled, ie shop soiled - but it is still more expensive than the Wiggle price for the 'unsoiled' version! CRC £798.99, Wiggle £760.49.

    Very strange.

    I think they've messed up the tagging in the chain reaction site, they don't appear when you filter by prime but they're still there

    I've been using a set of these this summer:

    https://www.cycledivision.co.uk/cero-rc ... 45-f20-r24

    They're good for the price - not too heavy (1500g), moderate width (23.5mm external, 16mm internal), they look good and braking is fine in the dry (not brilliant in the wet, but that's always going to be the case unless you're paying zipp/reynolds/enve money). Worth mentioning that the freehub is very loud, in case that's an issue.

    Another vote for these, I've had the 38s for a month or so and can't fault them

    Yeah, I found them again. Apparently it was something to do with moving physical stock around, so they took them off the site but not for long.
