Wheelsets for rolling hills and climb
Moderator: robbosmans
Current wheels are Corima Aero at 47mm profile for varied terrain. These are clinchers and they roll well...
Narrowed down to these 2 choices where rolling hills and hill climbs are the main highlights:
Corima Viva S @ 32mm profile
Vision Metron @ 40mm profile
What do people here think of them? Both are clinchers.
Should one be concerned of the pair spokes lacing on the Viva S or the hybrid ceramic bearings in the Metron?
Thank you.

Does the Viva S use paired spokes or their weird 12:8 pattern? Either way I wouldn't be concerned with it.
For this application I chose a 35mm carbon clincher, which is also a popular choice among pros. It isn't the most aero, but it is stable in crosswinds. I think any of the choices you've listed would serve you well. You should be sure about the Vision wheel weight before you buy. I've seen them list numbers that are not in line with what owners report.

If speeds don't drop below 15 kph, aero will trump a 150g weight saving.
Recommendation: Get a set of 23-25mm wide 50mm profile wheels
U-shape for crosswind stability.
