I'm after your advice on what wheels to buy, I've got a 2017 Cannondale Synapse Carbon Ultrega disc and can't decide which wheels to go for.

I'm looking at the Shimanoo RX830 and the Fulcrum 4 DB racing quattro, the links to the wheels are below.

I currently run a set of Racing quattro's on another bike and can't fault them but i'm drawn to the shimanos as they are carbon and cheap.

What would you go for ?

    The link for the Shimano wheels is for the front wheel only - which is probably why they seem 'cheap'.

    Having said that, the answer to most wheel questions is usually 'buy whichever you like the look of'..

    Its hardly going on a performance machine so probably not worth bothering unless going for something wider and tubeless or there is an issue with your current wheels.
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    Have you checked the compatibility of the Shimano's? The below says no thru-axle and fairly heavy.

    My bike has QR so that's not a problem... think i'm swinging towards the Fulcrum ones as I prefer the look of those and at my age and weight i'm never going to be super fast :lol:
