Definitely not the lightest but a cracking set of wheels at that price. Thanks OP!

Very durable and good brand. Not that heavy for training hoops and not bad for putting your winter tyres on this season either!

Good set of wheels. Robust and not overly heavy. You'd have to pay a fair bit more to get something noticeably lighter.

Wiggle do them for £112.50 as standard with free delivery if that's easier for people.

Slightly lighter version with suitable winter tyres and tubes for £154.38, which is a cheaper overall price:

you should check out superstar components for something of similar price but a bit lighter if that's what you are looking for, they often have big discounts and voucher codes.

I've got these wheels and they are great! haven't skipped a beat in 3k of cycling

My personal findings of cheap Mavic is poor, commuter friend had Aksium on his winter bike, went out of true 2/3 times, broke 3 spokes and then later the whole wheel basically imploded on itself. Returned to Mavic in the end, poor build.

I have some Cosmic Elite I used on my winter bike, those are somewhat better but ended up selling them and replacing with some R501, for the most part a "downgrade" but they seem perfect for the application I require them for.

I'd go for a set of these if I were buying today, £61 for me with platinum discount, otherwise £70 if you don't:
