Ditch the carbon, get some Hed Ardennes, H+Son Archetypes or TB-14s or some Pacenti SL23s built up on Hope/King/Ultegra etc. hubs with competition spokes. If you're felling fancy source to old Nemesis tubular rims and use them.

Re: Vision Metron 40 recommended?

Hi there,

I'm planning of buying a new wheelset soon (broke my old one). But however, I don't want to go crazy on this. I'd like to spend around 1500€ (1.718,40$) on it. I'm thinking of Vision metron 40 carbon clincher. Would you recommend these or should I buy another wheelset? I live in a flat piece of land, and like to do cobbles like in the Ronde Van Vlaanderen and Roubaix. So I need to have a strong set of wheels that can handle a bumpy ride.
Any?

Thx

Carbon clinchers make no sense to me. Have a decent wheelbuilder design and build a set specifically for you and your needs. Better hubs, better build, similar weight, probably $500 or more less.
HED, DT, Pacenti, H+Son, Velocity rims. DT, PMP, Record, shimano, WI, others, hubs. sapim Race and laser spokes...built well, of course.
