Looking to upgrade my wheels on the road bike, any comments on the above?

Seem to get good reviews online.

Not looking for super lightweight as im 15 stone.

Cheers in advance,

Alan.

Worth having a look at Roval Fusee SLX 23s at that sort of price too. Slightly lighter, a wider rim (A23/Ardennes stylee) and DT Swiss ratchet internals. I've only done 100 miles or so on mine so far, but they seem to spin very nicely and don't flex under my heft. They're handbuilts too, so shouldn't get stuck if you need a spoke somewhere.

Edit: sorry, realised that in true STW fashion I answered a question you weren't asking.

I've been running an older pair of the same, and they are lovely wheels. Mine are about 1450g, bearings and spokes holding up. And I bought the Mavic tyres, which have also been excellent. I'm only 70 kilos though. so can't comment on heavier weights.

Frequently described as "the benchmark wheelset at the price". I'm currently building them into my first road bike based on that recommendation alone!!
