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 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.
