My cross bike came with some good training though not great for racing clinchers. I want to pick up a set of race wheels before this fall and wanted to look for some advice.
Should I stick with some aluminum rims? If so, any recommendations? I would love some carbon wheels but my budget is under $500, which limits what I can buy. I have seen some great deals on some older Zipp 303's, though the break track looked pretty bad on the wheels I came across, and with cantilever brakes, a decent brake track is critical for CX.
Has anyone used chinese carbon tubulars for cyclocross? What do you think of these?
