During the week arrived my Xmas present to myself, Race Wheels! While they are not Zipp or some highend name they are
Planet-X, 52mm . These wheels cost around $600AUS delivered from the UK to Australia. Right in my price range and by the time you add Tubes, Tyres and Cassette let's say you get change from $900. I took them for a test ride and they felt quick but there was a strong side wind which added a lot more skill needed to control the bike. Ie. Wheels where like a big sail. The photo's below are from my road bike, but the wheels also go on the
TT bike as well.
Here are some pics
