Buying First wheel Set

Hello BF. I need helping picking a good set of track wheels. I live in Brooklyn NY. I'm building new bike for century ride and track and some daily ride around. so they need to be strong a I weigh 215lb and smooth my Budget $200.

i was thinking

or
https://www.bicyclewheels.com/merchan...egory_Code=FGM

I hear the CPX 22 is a good set lighter then the 1/8 Julian.

Thank you .

PS: sorry for my bad spilling and grammar.

You should really read this thread before you decide if you really want to buy from bicyclewheels.

Thank you for the heads up. i don't plan getting anything from them. any wheel-set recommendation would really like Fix/fix Hub. but i can deal with Fix/free.

Those Julians w/ Formula hubs are a good deal for $174 shipped if you're looking for a really deep rim. Pretty heavy (the front weighs more than my Aerospoke!) but I'm sure they'll be plenty solid enough for you - if they're built well.

If CXPs are what you're after, look here:
