Second question thread!
I have a couple wheel options in front of me. Either some Dura-Ace 7850 C24 carbon tubs (24mm rim depth), or Reynolds SDV66Ts. I'm leaning towards the SDVs owing to the fact that the pair is only 100g more than the DA, but the thought of manhandling a 66mm rim in a crosswind is slightly frightening. The DA wheels are super low-pro for a modern carbon wheel, and I definitely noticed the increased speed advantage of an aero wheel on Zipp 303s last year.
Note: I prefer to train on my race wheels. I weight 150-155, and have the upper body build of a typical road racer (read: none). Love crits, good climber. Former messenger and hence, good bike handler. While both sets have a reputation for being durable and stiff, I'd have an easier time with rim replacement if/when the time comes with Reynolds methinks.
