Best possible carbon disk wheels for up to $2500?
I'm shopping for disk carbon wheels for my new Cervelo R5 disk. Was really interested in the Campy Bora WTO disks but can't find them anywhere. Other wheels I'm looking at are the Bontrager XXX-4, Roval CLX 50's, Enve 3.4/5.6 (with trade in), and Mavic Cosmic SL UST's. The drivetrain will be Dura Ace 9170. I'd like to make a decision soon before the current Black Friday sales end.

Two sets of light bicycle wheelsets. One to use with 25s and one for 28s.

I have a set of CLX50's on my R3 and I can't think of a signle thing that I'd like them to do better...they are lightweight, spin up/carry speed beautifully, and are as stiff as you can ask for while still being smooth over rougher roads.
I'd get one with DT350s for training and one with 180s to race with.Noctiluxx wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 5:23 amOr three sets with Novatec hubsicantaffordcycling wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 5:22 amTwo sets of light bicycle wheelsets. One to use with 25s and one for 28s.
This would be a different situation if you only had 1500, Id push for a set of CLX50 Rovals, but 2500 would be a healthy budget for 2 sets with good hubs that can be rebuilt with fancier rims in the future when/if wanted.
I'm leaning towards the Enve 5.6 disk with the current trade in program. What hub do you guys recommend?

I agree with the people pushing LB. I had a set of 4.5ar wheels, but didn't like the tire limitations.
LB 56mm deep rims with cx rays and your choice of hub will be a great wheel if you want depth. I wanted to use 28 nominal tires as my minimal width road tire, so went with the newer model with 50mm depth, 25mm internal, and 32 external. White industries CLD hubs have been working great.
go through wheelbuilder on the enve trade in... that way you have a few more choices on hubs. Personally I'd do DT240s because that hub is everywhere and easy to service.
Second would be I9 torch followed by Enve Alloy. CKs are too much fuss for me with breakin and preload bearing adjustment.. not to mention the rear hub extra hassle with the rotor removal.

I9 torch hubs are horrible. The front hub measures 101mm not 100mm. I wouldn't buy them again.

hmm.. gonna have to measure mine one day.. I like the color choices.. I could live without the sound but its useful on the trails that are shared by hikers. Ive had no issues with them so far over the last 14 months. I still prefer DT240S which is what is on my Enve5.6. I9s are on 4.5ARicantaffordcycling wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 5:13 pmI9 torch hubs are horrible. The front hub measures 101mm not 100mm. I wouldn't buy them again.
