Hi All,
Building up my new Sunday best bike from 2nd hand and donated parts, and I've got roughly £200 to spend on wheels.
I'm roughly 90Kg, and the bikes going to be used for Sunday rides and sportives. I live in West Oxfordshire, so not many major hills, but a few lumpy bits.
Can't make my mind up about the wheels though. I've narrowed it down to:
1. Handbuilt wheels with Mavic Open Pros, Ultegra hubs and dt swiss spokes
2. Mercury Halos
3. Pro-Lite Meranos
I've got Mavic Sports and 105 hubs on the commuter, and have been very impressed with them so far, so am leaning towards the handbuilt route, but what do you think?
Thanks,
