Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Carbon clinchers recommendations

I just got a nice carbon frame, so looking for recommendation on some good clincher wheels in the $1-2K range, suitable for 25mm tires, rim brakes. Maybe even 28mm. Not too fancy, but nice, 50-60mm would be great.

Thank you, will definitely look at them. The wheels are for the Dogma, I am not sure if it will take 28's, but at least 25's would be nice. I am using 22mm tubulars on my other bike.

Reynolds AR41s with 28s. So far, this is my favorite setup yet.

I have a question about compatibility. I know the freehubs are different between the Campy and Shimano/SRAM wheels, but are the wheels with no freehubs interchangeable, or they have different shafts. In other words, is it just the freehubs that make the wheel brand-specific?

I have seen some conflicting answers to that.

No. The freehub body is specific to the rear hub manufacturer. They vary quite a bit.

I know you already got your wheels, but in case anyone else is looking, I've been really happy with the Bontrager Aeolus Pro 5's. This is my second set of these. My first set was from 2014 or 15, but wanted to go tubeless.
