What would your dream wheel upgrade be? Check out our guide to the best road bike wheels to find your perfect pair... cycling
Hookless rim not recommended for standard clinchersAt 65mm deep, Enve's Foundation race wheels are best for very fast days on the road or triathlon.
Of our selections above, the wheels that get our highest scores are often going to be all-rounders that can do a bit of everything, such as the Hunt 48 Limitless which give you the stiffness of carbon fibre, some speed gains and decent handling because they're not too deep. Read between the lines, though: are you simply looking for the fastest wheels possible on the flats for time trials and fast road racing? Go for deeper rims.
The main benefits from using carbon wheels on a road bike is that they are more often than not lighter than an aluminium wheel, as well as producing a stiffer and more responsive ride quality. Therefore, if you want to save weight and improve the way that your road bike feels then carbon wheels are undoubtedly worth it, even if they are more expensive.
A step in the wheel-building process called 'stress-relieving' also improves wheel longevity by preventing fatigue failure at the spoke heads. If your relatively new wheels start breaking spokes it's a good bet they weren't stress-relieved properly when they were built. Tubeless tyres are a special case of clinchers. A tubeless system is basically a clincher tyre inflated onto a rim with no inner tube. Instead of an inner tube holding the air pressure, an airtight chamber is created with a tubeless-specific tyre, developed with a special bead, and a compatible rim.
