  • That's the one. Very impress with how smooth the hubs is for the price, j bend spokes mean any shop can repair it.

    Bike24 pricing is good as the euro is very weak against the pound.

  • So, these just arrived and whilst they look and spin lovely I do realise I may have been blinded by price and not really considered the spoke count. 18/20 seems pretty low for 80kg rider + occasionally heavy bag commuting every day through London's famous London. What do you reckon re their strength, having ridden them? For the price it's not a disaster if they don't last forever, but would like a few years out of them if possible...

  • If your bag weighs 20kg, you're up to my weight and I ride the 16/20 spoke Shimano RS80s off road.

  • wide rim, bigger tyres and lower pressure will help.

    Mine still ride great, just trued the rear a bit due to hitting a pothole badly yesterday.
