Apart from all the Alibaba generic Chinese stuff which I'm not interested in...

Zipp 202's seem only choice.

Any others I've not considered?

I only want the front one as a swap-out for my Lightweight Std 3's on windy days. Currently I swap for a Shimano C24 (Alu rim), but a carbon option would save swapping brake pads as well (reduces a 5 minute job to 5 seconds).

Please, no talk of Tubs!

Ta, Steve.

Campag Hyperon... One of my all time favourite wheels! Think you can only buy in pairs though. EDCO do a shallow carbon clincher wheelset as well, comes with the rear hub that takes both Shimano/SRAM and Campag cassettes.

Didn't realise Enve rims went so low.

Have 1.0 forks too, so would look "right" (ish).

Is this right? http://www.primera-sports.com/products/ ... -9535.aspx

Weight of a front wheel 1000+ g?

Zipps are 620g.

I recommend the C24 tubular, or Bontrager D3.

Having said this, I swap between carbon and C24 wheels only cleaning the cork brake pad between the swaps. Never had any issues with brake track scratching, etc. I really like the feel of cork pads on carbon or aluminum.

Reynolds Attack, FFWD F2C are two options as well.

new Bora clincher ... only comes as a pair though, and perhaps you're on Shimano

Maybe wait for same rim from Fulcrum

Went for an Enve 20 spoke, Chris King R45 hub (black), black spokes.

Thanks for the helps.

FFWD makes some, they're probably the best bang for the buck
