A really good option if SH doesn't bother you but I'd always be cautious with rim braked and really want to trust the seller/physically see them first. Any options of asking around local clubs/friends/groups for someone with some aero wheels to sell?If you want Ironman go faster wheels it’s really hard to look beyond a set of Hed Jet 6+, you should be able to get a secondhand set within budget.
Totally agree, but going from the really shallow standard c24 to something 45mm would be enough of a performance/aero boost to justify the cost?the difference between any decent aero wheel and the absolute best for any given depth is so marginal that unless you're chasing a podium place it's insignificant.
At least that rules that one out.Nah I don't want a disc nor will I realistically be allowed to afford to buy one.
Jeeze those are cheap. Never heard of them mind.i would look for soemthing like Mavic CXR 60mm clincher with coated alloy brake track. i picked a pair up for 700 not so long ago. or just get a front wheel then get a RON Disc, again, adds up to about 750.

Wow those are crazy cheap.https://www.hambini.com/blog/post/bicycle-wheel-aerodynamics-which-one-is-fastest/
depends on what yuo plan to do with the wheels. if it is it pure race wheel then may even go with Planet X tri-spoke with Disc wheel:

but this combo is probably abit sketchy in the rain (pure carbon brake track).
otheriwse Mavic CXR is great all rounder with 60mm depth (see hambini blog, good enough to challenge some 80mm wheels) and alloy brake track.
Yeah I'm somewhat reluctant to go 2h might might have to; still a few good options looking on the bay. Some ridiculously cheap that makes you wonder...
I'm inclined to agree, especially rim braked older wheels from private sellers. Unless you find someone with 99%+ and thousands of Feedback...
@Jonny ///M which olive/barb do I need for shimano Road shifters? Is it the bh59?
Sure its Bh59 aye, the thicker hose. It says on the hose.
BH90 for higher end mtb brakes.
