Flip flop 700c wheel recommendations???

Any body know of a decent sub $150 700c road wheel with flip flop fix /free hub? This is for a Valdora tri compact frame 130mm spacing, (not track). https://valdoracycles.com/triathlon_p...ri_frame.shtml

Any suggestions / offers appreciated.

For that price point I would say IRO is your best bet. Go here https://www.irocycle.com/

I'll second the IRO. The hubs are great - I've run mine for two years without a single headache. Tony (who is IRO) is absolutely super. He's got your back. And now all the wheels are hand made by Velocity, and one of the guys from Velocity (who's name evades me at the moment) showed up on the board a while ago, and proved what a great company they are.

All in all, I don't think you could do any better. Check it.
