No, I replied to a previous poster about why Quattro over Ultegra, you took your usual eponymous stance and I explained that benefit or not, those were factors in consumers choosing products. I'm not some mouthpiece for the industry, just answering other posters questions.

I don't own a wind tunnel, I do have Ultegra and LB 1300g wheels because I personally prefer and prioritise weight over aero.

What do you ride and why (genuine question as I'm intrigued given your opinions, not a troll).

I like (and bought) mine because they 'roll well' Lol
and they are a bit bling for a cheaper end wheel, aero or weight mean nothing to me as im not a racer/stravasshole but I will say the 28mm tyres are more comfy on me Owd bones 8)

I had a quick nosey yesterday and got another set of Fulcrum Racing 5s for £135.00
Can't go wrong at that kind of money.
BTW - the Quattros are £199.00 for the wheel set only (no tubes/tyres) at Ribble.

I ride 32 stans alphas and tubeless fwiw.

Sorry I just like to question the marketing bs that pervades the industry...

I don't agree with your perception of your comments but am happy to disagree about that.

Assuming you want to avoid shimano with their cup-n-cone bearings in favour of something with sealed cartridge bearings, then something from Halo?
