HUNT 36 CARBON WIDE AERO

Keep an eye out on Wiggle's ebay outlet, they have had Mavic Haute Route tubs (£261 for a new rear ffs, utterly bonkers price!) Campagnolo Bora tubs and clinchers plus their Prime Carbon wheels for sale, you can get them for an absolute steal.

Unless you like the look of the carbon then the wheels you're after really aren't going to make any significant difference performance wise over your Elite's unless every second counts, say in racing conditions.

That said we rarely  buy based on 'performance', we like shiny things, we like bling, we like the fact that we think it'll make us go faster so as a plecebo effect we likely do ride faster.

If it was down to me and I was choosing between the two I'd say forget the 36 clinchers and get the 45 tubs, £130 cheaper and a bit lighter, better for braking on long fast descents, bit more of an aero benefit.

If you bought the Race Aero wide alu wheelset at £369 they'd do as good a job as you'd want, again depending if you race or not.

Hope it works out for you whatever you get.

Dunno about those particular wheels but I've just fitted my new Hunt 30 Carbon Aero Disc and the quality appears to be absolutely superb. Ridiculously light, too.
