Hello All,
I am about to buy a new cross bike (probably a Calfee Cross, see my other post in Bike Buying forum).
The bike I am looking at has Mavic open pro wheels which I plan to use for rougher trails sporting cross tires.
For road rides and centuries, however, I want something nicer. I really like the Topolino C19 wheels mainly due to their ride quality. Well, they also look beautiful too. I understand that the newer model solved the troublesome hub issue in past models.
Any suggestions for alternatives? I am willing to sacrifice weight for ride quality. I have considered some handbuilt wheels with a high spoke count opr maybe some Bontrager Classics. I plan on using 25mm tires for most of the time but switching to 23mm for centuries or longer road rides. Again, ride quality is a primary factor for me.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
