I have a Giant Defy and a Cannondale Superx, each with 10 spd ultegra and stock wheels (Giant P-SL1 and Fulcrum 7CX). The wheels on the are fine general purpose/training wheels, but I'd love to have lighter (possiby carbon) wheels to race the Defy and a road wheelset for the CX.

2 wheelsets are out of my budget.

So I'm considering the following options:

1) Buy a hybrid (carbon with aluminum braing rim) wheelset that could do double duty on either bike, and wouldn't require changing brakepads to swap wheels.

2) Go ahead any buy a set of full blown race wheels for the Defy and use the Giant wheelset as my road wheelset for the CX bike. I primarily ride on the flats, so cross wind performance is a priority.

FWIW, I AM on a budget, so any recommendations for relatively cost effective ways to do either would be welcomed.

Thanks,

BB
