You're speaking my language - that price is right, and I had overlooked the GRX wheels. I mean, I'm not a dentist, but I am a mildly-overweight, more-than-mildly balding middle aged family man who hasn't been cool since those 15 minutes in the eighth grade, so uncult wheels are entirely fine with me. That said, in spite of shimano wheelset's reputation for reliability, the one axle I've managed to bend was in a 5700 hub. Not sure how I managed that.



I do have an LBS worth supporting, but there is a good reason I'm looking at $400 wheelsets, not $800.

Thanks all - ordering the GRXs through my LBS might be what I do.
