Should you spend more than £1,000 on a carbon wheelset?

In this edition of the BikeRadar Podcast, road lead Ashley Quinlan and senior technical writer Simon von Bromley are hosted by digital editor Jack Luke to talk about one of the most popular bike upgrades: carbon wheels. Ash has been hard at work putting the latest sub-£1,000 carbon wheels to the test, and has emerged struggling to think of a reason why anyone should spend more of their hard-earned cash. They also discuss some of Ash’s finer conclusions, including his thoughts on how limiting hookless can be.
