Andy, wheels. I have been wasting too much time pootling around the net and Ebay trying to find the best reviewed deal on a 50/50mm set of wheels. As much as i like the Yoelo's and the good reviews a 1500g set comes in at near £900 before tax. Ican and far sports are cheaper but not so well reviewed. I keep coming back to Zuus. £500 is as cheap as it gets with the warranty, crash replacement policy etc. Where buyers have had issues these seem to have been quick to resolve. I could even get the 38's and save 100g's and have a more all purpose wheelset. Cosmetically the rims have a brake track but, all other things being equal, i am not sure spending another £300 to have a smooth rim is worth it.. That said you liked your Yoelo's and i think you set them up tubeless without tape. Are you buying the same again to replace your busted wheel. Do you reckon another carbon wheel would have suffered the same fate?
Anyone else with experience of far eastern Carbon wheels please feel free to chime in.
Buying the wheels will stop me spending £2k plus on a new bike
Zuus have a 10% off offer at the moment. You can get the Zuus 50mm aeros for £450 (https://www.zuus.co.uk/zuus-aero-carbon-wide-50mm). I was contemplating getting some deep rim wheels as I was thinking of trying a bit of TTing next year (plus may be good for ToC)
There's a reason most of the video supplied by the various companies tends to be shot from cars or motorbikes (my personal preference). As good as most people are that shoot video, when you add in the cyclists effort, the stability goes down particularly when going up hill.
