    Why would you want a set of carbon wheels solely for training on?

    To make my bike look pretty!!

    Like to train on carbon wheels to get the right feel. Wouldn't be training on a brand new set hence the thread for second hand.

    That's fair enough.

    A pair of chinese carbon wheels would probably do the job so.

    Probably not a good idea mentioning on them as the thread will probably descend into a pro v con on chinese carbon. There are plenty of clips on youtube but as I assume you're a grown man you can decide yourself.

    I got them through hongfu and by the time they cleared customs etc they were about 450 I'd say.

    They come with novatec hubs although I believe they do carbon ceramic hubs now.

    I think merlin cycles do good deals on carbon factory wheels also although probably not this time of year.
