Hi, I´m looking for some carbon wheels for my Endurance Bianchi Infinito CV, i´m not a racer.
I was looking for Reynolds Assault SLG, but i can´t get them in Czech Republic. Also this country has really bad roads.
I would like tubular Continental Competion 25, which i hope are fast and durable.
Thanks for your tips.

If you need a durable set, i can't think of anything beyond Vision Metrons. Not the weeniest, but should last better than most.

Corima.fr

DT Swiss 38/ 55 can be purchased for less than your budget ( check EU "outlets" )

Vision Metron

Ursus Miura - here you need to check discounts too

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

I would recommend you Corima aero+. I ride these wheels three years now on daily basis and they are completely trouble-free, with great hubs and bombproof rims. Braking in wet weather is not among the best, but...At the moment I have 25 Sprinter to try at the back and 22 Competition in front.

You can also consider buying rims from China and lace them to hubs of Your choice.
You can check my low profile wheels on my Wilier and 50mm wheels on my Ridley. 20mm rims + Tune hubs + Sapim spokes were something like 900 Euro. 50mm wheels on my Ridley were about 600 Euro including shipping + fees.

Ahoj, díky za zprávu, možnost zapletení kol mám, máš nějaký přesný tip kde ty Far sports objednat a jaké ostatní komponenty? Jsem v tom přeci jen docela nově a nemám v kolech moc přehled :)
Jinak jak tyhle číny obstojí oproti těm "značkovým"? Někde jsem četl že to snad může být i nebezpečné...
Díky ;)

I have 50mm carbons from far sports and found the wheels reliable. Used them now for 6 months and no issues.

I'm still not shure about the rim deep, what do you think? I'm not into hills much, so i consider 50 or 60mm, but i'm worried about crosswind

Since you don't race a profile of 45mm would be the maximum IMHO.
