Another Wheel Thread 500$
 

My bike wheel shared an intimate moment with a winter pothole hidden under a puddle and now shes bent to the point I can't true her straight anymore.
On the bright side, they were bottom of the mill Fulcrum Racing 7's and most everyone in my riding group suggested it was time for an upgrade.
I looked on the forums and saw that these two were popular choices and wondered if others had more options in that 400-600$ price range. I wish I had more to spare.

Boyd 30mm Rouleur

Flo-30

About me: I'm 190lbs.
I train alone twice or thrice a week, I ride two to three 21mph+ group rides per week.
Road Race / Criteriums 3~4x a month and local triathlons three times per year.
I live in a hilly region with less than pleasant roads.
It's for the Bianchi Infinito which sees about 3.5k miles a year.

Thanks guys.

I am 30 lbs bigger than you are and I have the Rouleurs in 24/28 spoke count. They are 1571g. I love them, they are a great wheelset and I have no complaints.

I'm learning towards a clydesdale spoke count in the rear at least, front I've never had an issue. The person who marketed less spokes as sportier was clearly trying to cut costs in production. More is less right?
Thanks for your opinion, much appreciate!

I honestly think you would be fine on the 20/24, but being cautious I see nothing wrong with going with the 24/28. It only adds about 40g. I'm sure if you decided on the Rouleur and contacted Boyd he would sell you a set in 20/28 though. Best wishes on your new wheel purchase.

Sent you a pm.
