KyleTarmac will become famous soon enough
Default New wheels for my Tarmac

I have a Specialized Tarmac with stock Mavic CXP 22 wheels on it. I would like to replace them with a lighter faster wheel set. I primarily race criterium races, if that helps. I would like to get either Roval or Bontrager wheels. Also I have to keep it under $1000 and under $750 would be even nicer.


So please give me your impute on which brand and model you think I should get.

Thanks

There's nothing really wrong with the CXP22's. Great for training and being run over on crits when some donkey infront of you falls off.

A custom wheelset built up by....er....a wheel builder. Bontrager, Roval, they're overpriced boutique wheels.
