Recommendations Needed....
I'm after a cheap(ish) disc wheel / deep section front wheel (80mm+) combo.
So far I've not found much from the main online vendors. I'd prefer to go clincher as I will be using these for training and not just competition next yr and would like ease of **flat** repair.
Anyone got any recommendations......?

It's all down to personal preference and budget..
I wouldn't train on a disc/deep section as come race day you may have trashed your wheels training and you also don't get that extra "free speed" when you put on your race wheels.
There is a bargain PX set on there at the moment, both deep section

Thinking about a set of these now:

To fit over my Mavic Carbone SL rear with powertap (what I'm currently running).
Anyone have any experience with covers???

I agree with Ed I wouldn't train on the disc. If you want clinchers then its either going to be heavy or horribly expensive. I've been using a Gipiemme disc £700 ish from Planet X although I got mine from cult. It seems ok. Only works really though when everything is optimum. Ie feeling strong to keep it rolling no real hills and low wind. When good it's worth about 0.2 mph. Only of any real use for shaving seconds off time trial times. If your not going to do several time trials in the course of the season I'd save the money and get something else.
