Hey all,

Looking to buy a new road bike wheel-set and feeling a bit over whelmed by the sheer amount of options available, wondering what everyone else has and open to recommendations. A bit of background about me and my bike:

I weigh about 150 lbs (68kg). These wheels would be used mostly for racing, but would also want to use them periodically throughout the season for fun! Ascending is definitely my strong suit coming from a strong XC mtbing background so lightness is important, but I would also want something that handles well when pulling or being out front something with a little wider of a rim(?). Budget is about 1,500$.

Currently looking at the Dura Ace 9170 c40s, but again I am a little overwhelmed with options. My bike is a 2016 Cannondale Super Six Ultegra Disc. Outside of the usual fitting compatibility areas are there any common mistakes people make when buying a wheel-set?
