Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

Best wheelset circa £150 for a 100kg rider?

sorry I should have mentioned, i am after a campag fit. Unless you can use a shimano cassette with a campag groupset?

If your campag setup is 11speed then yes you can.

circa £150

10% over budget, but wide rims make even more sense for us porkers so it's worth giving Shimano a steer until they get with the program. Racing 7LG would be within budget if you're really tight.

What's the consensus on disc wheels these days?

I'm about 90kg and the tester approved dt swiss r24 disc wheels I bought back in february have just popped a spoke (in my experience always a pre-cursor to total wheel failure regardless of how quickly/well the broken spoke is replaced).

Anything better out there for £200 or thereabouts?

Pretty much all factory wheel prioritise speed over durability by reducing spoke count. If you really want bomb proof, you still can't beat hand built with lots of spokes.

If you just want road-disc wheels a little bit stronger than ones labelled road-disc, you can always shop in the 29er MTB aisle.

Love my fulcrum 5 lgs. They're just super solid.

Perfect, should be sorted easily.

Buy my almost new Fulcrum Racing 7LG CX for cheap.

A lotta lotta blurb here, but fundamentally: 33mm toroidal, wide, tubeless-compatible aluminium rims with a ceramic braking surface, at an all-in weight of 1400g, suitable for fatties and easy to rebuild? And under €600? That actually sounds really good

interesting...

Saw these yesterday, look decent. Ceramic surface might be pretty good for staying black too if you use the right pads.

Super early bird all gone, only a few early bird left. Seriously tempted

Good deal this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Road-wheels-DT-Swiss-350-Straightpull-R460-1590g-20-off-/331822267122?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Could someone explain how the wear on these type of rims (Mavic SUP CD) affects performance? Is a rim like this too worn to be worth it or is the lighter surface coming through mainly cosmetic?

that coating wears of pretty much immediately, so if there was significant wear to the rims I'd expect to see more loss of the coating. ask the seller to take a photo with a straight edge on the rim a la

and if it looks like that then stay well clear.

Not even all the way through the anodising yet, you're less than 50 microns into the 500 micron allowable wear. If anything, they tend to brake better on bare metal.

what road wheelset £500 max, 1500g or less not too deep (38mm or so max?)

Doesnt have to be crabons. DA C24s maybe?

1500g or less

Why? The only good reason to use weight as a starting point is to avoid excess baggage charges if you're building a travel bike.

Well I considered Zipp 30s but for £500 1700g seems like a lot? If theres lighter options i don't see why not?

24mm tubs, CX Ray, Novatec hubs. £450 ish, 1100g easy.

1100g easy.

no.

maybe.
