I also do an annual century ride, with several training rides in the 60-79 mile range. Any advice about the two wheel sets I mentioned or others you'd recommend? I don't want to break the bank.
How much do you weigh?
what are you looking to get out of a new set of wheels?
I am a believer that most people are best served with a nice set of 28-32 spoke wheels. I would look for a set of Shimano 105 or Ultegra hubs laced to any good rim with good spokes. You will be set and they will preform as well as anything out there.
