my original wheels - Mavic Open Sport, 32h, deore front, 105 rear are well past their best.

Thinking at the moment to go for Mavic Open Pro 32h, 105 front and rear, still in black.

Bike is used for road, bit of off road and touring, usually with Spesh Borough 32's or road 28's. I am 12.5 st.

Parkers International seem to be a good price.

Any reccomendations, alternatives, bargains ?

Thanks

Clincher = Normal tyres. Same as your open pros.

The A57s seem alright. If a bit heavy, but at that price.
