I’m 59 and have been running for the past 26 years and have been riding between runs for the past 4 years. I bought a new Caad12 from my LBS last month and it came with a set of Fulcrum Racing Sport wheels. There’s nothing wrong with them and my plan is to use the rear Fulcrum on my Kinetic trainer and get a better set of alloy wheels for my normal riding that consists of a 15 mile loop that is relatively flat with some rolling hills in North Texas. I weigh 175 lbs and read as many wheel posts that I could over the last week. I decided to try and get a custom set and talked to a rep at Colorado Cyclist and without breaking the bank went with a set of Ultegra hubs and DT Swiss R411 alloy rims. Out the door for less than $400. I want to get something that I could get repaired without buying a new set of factory wheels. So I’d just like someone to point me in the right direction before I order a them. All I want are alloy rims, decent hubs, and parts that are common enough to find replacements for if they break. Thanks in advance.

If there’s a better option then I’m open to suggestions. All the searches I read seemed to all say get a custom wheel and skip the factory sets. Better bang for your buck is how I read them.
