The Flo 30 in a clyde build with Sapim CX rays rated up to 240+ pounds at 1652g for $498.00 is a pretty good deal from the comparison shopping I did. Same weight as the Boyd Altamont clyde build, but at $152 less.
If by extensively you mean against only Mavic open pros, one of the least aero wheels out there. Why didn't the test against Zipp/Enve/Reynolds carbon wheels with similar depths?
