My question is specific to 650c wheels, so no need stating to just go get Flo 60s. 😎
Current everyday wheels are Easton Vista. Patiently looking to buy some race wheels on a budget. I've recently seen some older 650c HED 3s clinchers but these are the narrow rims and I'd be using Continental 4000s in a 23mm size. I've read that could take away a lot of the benefit of the HED 3s as they are really meant to have a 19-20mm tire. With my limited budget zip 404s or HED Jet 6 would be older models too and (maybe?) narrow rims also. I know I could just get a front wheel and put an aerojacket cover on the rear.
Let's say my budget is $700... what are reasonable options to look at?
(135 lbs rider, mix of flat and moderate hill terrain, no epic climbing)
