Wheelset

what would be your recommendation for a reasonably priced wheelset ($500-$700)? There is a sale of the American Classic-420 for $450 which i am considering.

Is this a training wheelset, racing, both? If it's just for racing (and a few training rides on them) then I'd go for;

Closeout HED H3 = $310
Renn Disc = $400

A few bucks over your budget after shipping and all, but it will be the fastest. But it won't be a good training wheel, and if it's REALLY windy then you may want something else.

https://www.rennmultisport.com/ - 575 Disc wheel.
https://www.hedcycling.com/closeouts.htm - HED closeouts

The HED wheels are discounted because they have excessive (to HED) runout, so the more runout the lower the price. For instance for $360 will get you .031-.035" (and I'm pretty sure that is a total +/- measurement) or 3/4 of a millimeter.

I would recommend the Velomax Ascent II:

https://www.bicyclebuys.com/Items01.a...=14121&pOP=800

I think this is $100 below the list of $700.
Excellent wheels. Built here in Long Beach, CA.

Best.
