300 pounds to spend...
 

[Closed] 300 pounds to spend on a new road wheelset. But what should I buy?

I know it's a dull question but I really can't decide. And I only have until the end of the month to decide (cycle 2 work). And I've been trying to make a decision since July.

Cheers for all suggestions.

Those 20mm carbon rims from P-X they're flogging for £80, some Ultegra hubs and Revolutions. 1200g wheelset, done!

Why resist? They'll be fine for cross.

My shortlist includes

Fulcrum racing 5's (I think 3s will stretch my budget too much)
Mavic Kysrium equipe
Hope pro3 rs-sp
Shimano 6700

Has to be a wheelset since I don't have the skill to build my own and I am restricted by what the lbs can order on cycle to work
