Hi all,
I'm a youth roadie, 16 years old from Victoria BC canada. I've dipped into road racing in the past couple years and as we veer into the winter season I'm already planning my gear for next season as I hope to take my road racing a step up and try out some hill climbs as well (I'm 120lbs with a new set of hoops. Currently I'm running WH-RS370's @1820g set up with 25mm gp5k's on my '19 teammachine slr02 two disc.
Looking for some advice as to what wheels I should opt for. At the moment I'm leaning towards 38 or 50 disc hyper's - I've got a buddy in the industry who can hook me up with a set for ~800usd all said and done, as opposed to 1200usd + fees. From the research I've done this seem like a fairly good option for someone like me. For some context I'll be competing in faster cat4/cat3 equivalent next season (mostly road races 30-80kms) and like I mentioned hopefully trying some hill climbs. I'd also prefer not to be swapping wheelsets back and forth so I'll prolly be doing all my training on these (3-6 rides per week, 40-80kms with 500-1200m of elevation). Given these factors I'm pretty confident the hyper's will be my best bet but I'm very open to suggestions of other wheels and/or personal experience with this wheelset. I'm willing to spend a little more but I'm still in high school and now 100% on my own financially for bike parts. rip.

Finally, if I settle on the hyper's I'm torn on whether to go 38mm or 50. The ~75g weight difference is pretty negligible for me so I'm mostly concerned about cross wind stability vs the aero advantage with the deeper hoops. Victoria is pretty hilly so I'd say I frequently descend at 70kmh but I dont get much faster than that. Any insight on how these wheels perform in cross winds would be greatly appreciated, especially being a light rider as I mentioned. Thanks!!

Any chance to help me get them this discounted? I´m considering Hyper 50 or 65 last months but 1100usd is still pricey.
For 800usd I´d try them for sure.

You can get the latest Hyper SE wheels for 900usd after the 10% discount. They are basically the same as the old Hyper 38/50/65 wheels, with matt coating and steel bearings.

Where can you get those similar prices on wto?
A few years ago I bought the wto 60 for less then 1500, now I'd like to get the 33 and they cost over 2000€

I can have Bora WTO 60 from local dealer for about 1250. I don´t think it´s such of a shocking price since they are usually being sold under 1500 online:

WTO 33 for 2000€? I don´t know where are you looking, but you can order WTO 33 for under 1500€ right now:
https://www.bike-discount.de/en/campagn ... n-wheelset

from what I've seen, bike-discount is the only site with those kind of prices (but hasn't got dark label shimano), all those other big online retailers got prices around 2000.

Not true, bike24 offers them under 1500 too. Dark label Shimano: https://www.bike24.com/p2322466.html?so ... ku=1123068

WTO 33 are currently 100€ more, but if you watch the price, you can get them cheaper.

Also I remember CRC offered them well under 1500 few months ago.

To the R67 owners: do the rims especially the rear one fits into normal Ultegra direct mount calipers? Frameset would be Oltre xr4

Will a 60mm valve for tubes work at the new "2023 45" backwheel, which is 54mm deep?
Thank you!
