Hi,
I've just bought a discounted 2020 Cervelo S5 and I'm due to collect in a week or so from my local bike shop. The wheels are pretty mediocre and let the whole package down a little.
The shop recommend Hunt Aero 50s at £800 a set. I've read that although they're not bad, they're nothing more than Chinese rims with decent hubs and Hunt have done a great job at marketing them as something far superior. And other comments that the brand owner has essentially admitted as much. How much truth there is in that I don't know!
I'm looking for something with around a 50mm profile, low maintenance hubs and above all, reliable!
I'd appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks.
