...but I am getting confused. On my posh (hoho) bike I have Fulcrum Racing Quattros, and the previous bike had Mavic Aksiums. I just got a bargainous Colnago woohoo which has its own-brand (rebadged FSA) Artemis wheels. The rep for all of these is "heavy and slow", but I can't say the engine is any different. It seems that none of these could be considered superior to the others. I'd like to get something better but on a limited budget.
According to the interweb these all come in c. 1800g for the pair, and I'm trying to work out how much I have to spend to get something superior and presumably lighter. Cosmic Elites and Campag Sciroccos look coooool but are 1770g; is 100g really worth spending a few hundred quid on?
How much lighter does one have to go to really feel the difference? Realistically can you do it for under £300?
