Fulcrum Racing Quattro Carbon OR Reynolds Assault SLG
I'm currently using Fulcrum Racing 3's. Looking to upgrade to a carbon wheelset and wondering what people's opinions are. I've seen tons of praise for the Assaults and am leaning towards those a little more but wanted to see what other people's opinions/experiences are with those and the Fulcrums. Both these wheelsets are the latest model years. The Fulcrum's being $200 cheaper from the shop and 75 grams heavier (claimed weights). Looks don't really matter as much, looking at more of a price/performance comparison (couldn't find much on the Fulcrum's online). Thanks guys!

I bought a set of the 2015 Assault slg's to run tubeless and had nothing but problems with them. Reynolds sent me another set and they were worse than the first set plus their customer service department basically said "oh well, that's just how the're made". I returned them and bought some Easton ec90sl's which are lighter and wider than the Assaults with a certified road tubeless rim design. They have proven to be an awesome set of wheels so far, I know they're not on your list but thought they were worth a look for you EC90 SL CLINCHER | Easton Cycling
