How tricky is it to fit new road bike wheels?

But the stuff off the internet. Take them to a lbs to put together if you struggle to do it.

If you can, buy the Planet X AL57 wheelset (spec B if you have 9 speed or less), they are a far better wheelset than the crap R500's (now R501).

The OP has ordered the wheels - see post #14
He needs to save money - see post #14 above - the AL57s are £149.99
The 501s are great value wheels at £65

Sorry, didn't spot #14.

Well, they are round I suppose.

R500 are perfectly good for £65 - I'm still using a pair that are 9 years old.
No way I'd pay £150 for them though.

Once you are a father you won't have time to change wheels for yourself. You probably won't have time to get on the bike. You probably won't even have time to go on chatlines and debate trivial issues like this.
