KL.
You seem better knowledged than I on wheels! Can I seek your input?
I live in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, I really can only afford one set of wheels so, general purpose is needed.
My regular rides are
2x 70k mainly flat coastal bunches at 31kph avg and rising!
1x 50k recovery ride with the wife on undulating terrain and if time permits a couple of Montville Hill climbs on the off days!
Roads in my surrounding area are coarse and often slightly broken up (should have bought a CX

) my current R501's (standard with the Foil 40) I can flex really easily, I often have to open the brake calipers if I know of a small pinch approaching, can't always do that in bunch rides. I have also managed to dent the alloy rim on them after hitting a deteriated road surface at 70 ish kph destroying tyre and tube. I have had the wheel straigtened, but the rim I have been advised not to try and bend back any further. These are the wheels I am looking at
American Classic Hurricanes rated well by Clydsdale riders and websites reviewing them. I have no doubt my weight loss will improve my climb time more along with my continued riding.
My body size will be capped at about 88kg I think, I am big framed too.
A bit of redirection from tyres sizes I know, but the reason for the impending wheel swap is fuelled by the love of the 25's. Oh, and every 1/2 kg helps
