I was having a discussion with a fellow Clydesdale about wheels yesterday. He digs my Chris King/DT Swiss setup on my Ritchey, but not so much a fan of the price (neither am I, but I got over it). So we got to discussing other options and the conversation talked a bit about bling (Phil Wood) and fun stuff vs truly functional.
So in the end, he asked me my opinion what the best "value" wheelset available for a 95kg rider.
I don't think I hesitated more than 1 second when i said Ultegra Hubs and Mavic Open Pro rims 32 spoke 3 cross. Easily found online in the $300USD range.
They aren't sexy wheels, but they roll well and take a beating without breaking the bank.
Can anyone recommend a similar or better option in the same price range?
