New Wheels recommendations please

[Rustybucket]

Hi

Just bought a new cannondale synapse ultegra di2 disc. Am thinking of upgrading the wheels as they are only entry level and want something to do the bike justice (within my price range).

Can anyone recommend any? The only thing is that Evans have to stock them, as I have a voucher to use.

Willing to spend upto £400

Thanks for any suggestions!

Looks like it's QR's on both ends of the bike? 6 bolt discs or centrelock? I only ask as I bought some Fulcrum racing 5's for my crosser and had a bit of grief trying to get adapters to fit (QR on the back 12mm bolt thru on the front). Decent enough wheels for the money once I sorted them.

6 bolts

Thanks for any suggestions

How will you know if justice has been served?

Why not ride with the current wheels for a bit and see how you go especially with winter coming

Notwithstanding the advice already given, if you're intent on spending your money, here are a couple of suggestions - both tubeless-ready, which is worth bearing in mind:

Hunt 4 Seasons

Stan's ZTR Grail

(Over budget but you should be able to find them cheaper)

ETA: just noticed the Evans stipulation, which probably rules out both those suggestions, sorry.

I think I was misinformed by the store and that I need centre lock wheels and not the 6 bolt. I've checked various spec sheets and they all say centre lock. Can anyone confirm?

I'm going to order the below as have managed to get a good deal with some money off from Evans.

Rather than look at spec sheets, why not check the actual wheels on your bike? Spec sheets are often wrong anyway. If you're not sure, post a pic here.

The bikes currently at the Evans store. I'll give them a call in the morning to check then!

Thanks

buy 2nd hand off ebay .... lots of bargains around for the fraction of the cost of what they are new

Can't use Evans vouchers though as the OP

Ah! Yes, that would make it tricky to check them yourself.

I'm going to order the below
Mavic Ksyrium Elite All-Road Centre-Lock 700c Road Clincher WTS Wheelset 2017

Didn't give us much of a chance to make suggestions and seem to have taken no notice anyway.
Good luck. Hope they do the bike justice, and that your legs do too.

If it's the green synapse, then I have the same one. I can confirm the discs are centre lock. Stock wheels have been fine for my first 1000 miles. And the wheels are QR.
