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!

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.

Thanks for the helps.
