Wheelset recommendations below $300 (new or used)
I'm relatively new to road bikes, and am looking for a wheelset that's shimano compatible and below $300. I'm OK with new or used, but I want them to come with a hub that's compatible with Shimano cassettes (6800 if it matters). Any recommendations?
If it helps, I'm not willing to hugely sacrifice durability for weight, and likewise with completely disregarding weight for durability. Something quality that'll be fun to ride on without having to true them constantly is what I'm going for. I'll primarily use them for exercise, fun, and maybe a little racing.

I'd think that finding 11-speed used wheels is potentially likely to be somewhat difficult, depending on where you are, especially for $300 or less.
For $400, you could get these:
30mm Rouleur Clincher - Boyd Cycling
I'm not fan of proprietary wheels - you're paying for bling.

+1 on Mavic's being 11 speed compatible. I have a set of silver SL's available via the classifieds here...

I'll have to see if the Vuelta Corsa Lights are 11 speed compatible.
