Had a guy custom make me a wheelset that was super light using white industries hubs, bladed spokes, aluminum nips, 35 or 40mm deep rims (cant remember). Unfortunately those were the days when I didnt read up on reviews or anything to educate myself. That was 10 years ago, last week i broke a spoke on the back wheel while commuting (all i do these days) and so im in the market for a pre-made wheelset or if it allows, just the rear wheel.

Any advice? No carbon. Dont care for bladed spokes or alum nips. I do have panniers on the back of my bike now. Mostly just a ortleib holding a laptop so not too much weight. Sometimes the occasional package i have to bring home from work. I do like the deeper dish look however and the color black/red. Lightweight is a plus as my current set were a joy to ride. Something like the visionteam 35 looks nice in both price and looks. I paid $750 for my original handbuilt set and this round not really looking to spend more than $250ish. Less the better.



So many choices out there im about to go crazy.
