Looking for recommendation!
Just bought a Cannondale Caadx 105 SE in sales (£830). It's got 37mm tyres on its current wheels and want to buy a second set of wheels to put a set of road tyres on and use in winter etc. Then I can just switch between wheels depending on the terrain.
So, looking for the best disc wheels I can get for £250 or less, guess the lighter the better.
Thanks

I'm very close to selling my Hunt 4 Seasons disc wheels. Only ever used on road on my No 2 bike, so light mileage. V. Good condition. Will be well within your budget.0

Mavic Aksium Discs can be got for that price. Not the most exotic wheels in the world but widely used and you can't go too far wrong with them at that price point.You can fool some of the people all of the time. Concentrate on those people.0

Prime wheels are very light for the money. 1650g, £180

If you were able to completely blow your budget then this is an excellent deal including tyres etc:
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/prime-rr-50-se ... -wheelset/
(and remember you'll never wear out the rims and you don't have to worry about carbon wet weather braking etc....)
I've got a Prime Pro disc set on my winter bike @ 1500g, which was a really noticable difference vs the 2100g Mavic Aksiums that came stock with the bike. They have usually been in your budget range but at the moment they are not discounted at all so £350. The major drawback with the wheels is the bearings are not as well sealed or robust as some - I got 18 months out of mine though much of that riding was wet weather winter riding. However, they are quite easy to change, standard size, and I was able to get a full set of replacements for £8.0 -
