Which wheel? Reynolds Blacklabel 65 aero or Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5?

New to the forum, but lurked around a bit...


Does anyone have some experienced insight to share? I'm relatively new to cycling and I'm upgrading my Scott Addict 10 from Shimano RS-11 wheels, rim brake. I've obtained a rear Reynolds Black label 65 aero with a Industry 9 *noisy* rear hub but now I need a front wheel. It appears the specs are similar except rim depth:


Black Label Aero 65(mm) front has an outer width of 28mm, either a "reynolds" hub or I-9 hub, claimed weight is 720


Aeolus Pro 5 (50mm) front has an outer width of 27.5mm, a "bontrager" hub (note this is *not* the one with DT swiss internals like my LBS dude was telling me), claimed weight is 705.

I plan to use tubeless GP 5000 700x25.

I can get them about the same price...the Bontragers just a few more bucks, but I don't have a lot of bucks otherwise I'd get better wheels. Thanks for your wisdom in advance!
