I'm looking for a wheelset upgrade along the following lines:

- £1000 or thereabouts
- 50-65mm rim depth
- clincher / disc brakes

At the moment I'm considering 3 options:

- Vision SC 55
- Bontrager Aeolus Elite 50 TLR
- Yoeleo SAT C60 Pro

On paper the Yoeleo's seem the winners but I'm interested to hear opinions and experiences from others.

My cycling buddy just purchased the Reserve wheelset for his Giant TCR very nice looking wheelset with DT Swiss 350 Hubs.

Have a look at the Parcours Strada - slightly shallower in the front than your deisred spec but looks like a good choice:

My go-to would be Light Bicycle. They have multiple choices - I have the AR56 - 56mm depth, and 23mm internal, 30mm external. This allows a 25mm GP5000 to be 29.5mm wide, which is both aero and comfortable. They also have options that are 25mm wide interanlly and 32mm external, which I imagine would be good with a 28mm wheel and still be able to keep with the "Rule of 105".

I have just placed an order for YOELEO new series wheels, and bought the C60 PRO to fit my Cervelo S5. surprisingly to know that they are built with ratchet system as DT Swiss hubs, but the price is around 30% less than their DT Swiss setup and hubs weight is also lighter than DT Swiss 350 hubs
