A little bit different than your criteria but Spinergy's customer service has been exceptional (at least for me).
I wouldn't get those wheels.

I haven't seen any tests with them, but those spokes cannot be aero. Plus they're proprietary and fill a niche that isn't needed. Regular spokes work fine, and bladed spokes are stiff. There's no reason to make spokes that are less aero...


Pizzaman, I'd go for the 50mm souls or any of the reynolds.

The souls are a good weight, as are the reynolds. The souls might have the edge as per aero. You could have them built up with ceramics if you wanted. Plus they're not as expensive as the others, which is good considering you're racing on them.

Reynolds has a great warranty, so I might give them a huge edge on that. Race equipment wears, and if you break something, having a good warranty behind it is worth the price. I think its 200-300 for a full reynolds 3(?) year warranty. Might be worth it.
