I’m considering an upgrade for my Emonda slr. Currently have Aeolus 37’s on it, but want something deeper. Something in the 50-60mm range is what I’m thinking. My current wheels are ~1500 grams and I run a 28mm tire. No crit racing. I do mostly fondos and other long distance events. I like to ride …

Honestly after discount it makes more sense to buy them new. eBay prices are crazy!

Just go with Hunt - cheap and decent. You don’t need anything mor expensive. https://us.huntbikewheels.com/
