    Road wheel suggestions

    I -think- I have enough parts cobbled together to build out the endurance frame I picked up on warranty last year. Problem is, old frame is rim brake and new frame is disc. Old wheels are a little tired, Suggestions? These will probably be beat to shit in gnarly wet and rough training rides, and not suck on 100+ mile endurance events. Priorities: Sturdy, aero, light (in that order), Preferably under ~$1000ish. Internal width should be in the 18-23 range and accommodate 25-28mm clinchers.

    Suggestions?

    e- sorry for some reason I thought you were looking for rim brake wheels which uh makes everything I had typed irrelevant.

    I got these Reynolds Attacks a couple years ago and they're really nice. Seem to be tough. Not super aero at only 30mm and only 17mm internal width but they are super light and built with Sapim CXray spokes. Noticeable difference right out of the driveway for me.

    A little out of your price range but great wheels built locally at fair prices. Joey and Kelsey will take good care of you, built to your spec. I have a set of carbon 700c and alloy 650s. Been bomber.

    Actually these Reynolds AR41s were at the bottom of the page and are closer to your specs and cheaper. Not quite as light but look good.
