Wheels

Looking to buy a new set of wheels to replace a set that buckled I discussed in other thread. In the 200-300 range

Anyone any suggestions?

Must be hard wearing as I am 100kg running Shimano. If I also could get cog for the back it would be great as I am looking to kep old wheel for my unused turbo

Looking at:

but wondering if I should stick with better known names such as Fulchrum?

If you are after a solid set of wheels its hard to beat these. Open pro rims on new series 105 hubs. 179 euro + p&p. Get tyres and a cassette there while you are at it.

I am looking at getting a Fulcrum wheelset (my rear hub needs replacing on existing bog standard wheel which weighs in at 1200g). Limited budget so thinking of Racing 7/Racing5/Quattro. I have an entry level 3 x 8 speed shimano bike which didnt cost much more than the quattro's do. I do a 70-80km trip every weekend and the odd short sportive. Question is, other than looking better, is there any real advantage to the quattro's, which have a deeper aero rim, for the likes of me anyway? I am not ever going to race, just want something that is reliable and if it makes climbing a fraction easier then great.
7's cost 141, 5's cost 211 and Quatto cost 267.
