I am a 205-215 lb. rider (93-98 kg), and I'm looking to get a set of summer riding wheels for my Cannondale Synapse 105 (rim brake). Currently I have Mavic Askium wheels on the bike. I ride about 80-120 miles/week.
I think I've narrowed it down to a few choices, which are lighter and slightly more aero from reputable builders, and in the $400-$600 range:
Neugent A310AS Alloy 31X24 Asym Rear Set (20/24 spoke count) Specifications
Blackset Race 30 700c Wheel Set (20/28 spoke count) Blackset Race 30 700c Wheel Set
Boyd Altamont Alloy Clincher Wheelset (20/28 spoke count) https://boydcycling.com/shop/road/al...cher-wheelset/
I will be using the new Conti 5000 tire 28mm.
Besides trying to narrow down my wheelset choice (the cheaper the better) I'm also wondering about how a wider rim will be with the chosen tire. I tried running the GP4000s2 tire in 28mm and ended up with some rubbing in the back. The rubbing was not apparent while riding, but after the first flat I noticed some light rub marks on the rear. The new 5000's are supposed to be true to listed size, whereas the 4000 tire ran wider than listed.
But still, should I be concerned with a wider rim than the stock Askiums? Probably should stick with a 25mm tire? Any negative experiences with the above wheels or builders?
