£200 wheel budget

[Justinslow]

I would say it probably wouldn't be a great idea to buy the lightest cheapest wheelset that money can buy!! I'm less than 12 stone and don't have massive legs, and I can't say I've ever felt the rear wheel of any bike I've ever ridden "flex".......yet.

Have you got them already? Think they are what ill end up with if im honest

No I'm gonna order them this week,cheaper than the Quattros so the price difference will go towards the tyres

 

[Spoked Wheels]

For what its worth Jack , my 38mm carbons flex when I am out of the saddle before I get going . Once I am riding I don't notice any flex / brake rub but then I tend to try and not get out of the saddle unless I need too .

At your weight?

Gone with fulcrum racing quattro's.'saw them in the shop today and liked the look eith the hint of red like my bike they are the same as the scirrocco apart from the spoke pattern i guess i did really want to try the g3 pattern though

 

[AndyRM]

Having ridden on many different wheels I'd say there's not much of a difference in Campag's spoke pattern. I think they made a video about the thinking behind it but personally I think that's mostly marketing gubbins.

If you're up in my neck of the woods I've a set you could have a shot of. Campag freehub though so might not be compatible with your set up.

Bought a set of Superstar wheels which ran through last winter with no problems, Pacenti SL23 rims with one if their own hubs, about 1700grams and 28 spokes, very stiff. Was under £200 at the time

I like the rims although they are hard to get a tyre on. Are you sure they are 1700g? Probably the hubs are a bit heavy. At that price you can't go wrong I think.

Ha changed my mind again got the scirroccos 160 a ribble on sale, could only go with lithion 2 tyres due to budget though instead of my preffered pro4's. Should be here tomorrow or wednesday

 

[Justinslow]

Oh dear, wouldn't have got them.








Only joking, enjoy them!

Yes, can be difficult to mount tyres until you really really perfect the technique. I didn't weigh them, but that's the quoted weight in the 28 spoked versions

I got some of the Sl-23s from superstar when they were on offer. The rim gays great reviews, the 'new H-Plus-Son Archetype'. And at £200 when the rims retail at £80ish each is a bargain. I've not used mine yet, I'm currently commuting on some CycleDivision AR24s which I'm finding are tough and reasonably fast so far. They were bought with the CW discount and free tyres.

Look forward to the review as I'm ordering mine at the end of the week although the Zonda fans have got me re thinking

Everyone goes on about zonda's think it's just a fashion thing lol if theese can handle my chain snapping wheels bending climbing style they will do most people great!
