Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

@ChasnotRobert use Rim brake.

Yes, planning on keeping the back brake for the time being.

Pacenti SL25

Another disc-only rim, and therefore also totally unsuitable for @ChasnotRobert. Next?

DT Swiss R460 DB ?

As a cheap option, Sturmney archer make a 130 track hub with sealed bearings that can be spaced to 135 - the axle is plenty long enough - i'm doing this on my cotic

Just ordered HED ardennes wheels because #yolo

soz @danstuff .. although instead of spending on weenie-ism I spent on rim width so hopefully its approved.

I will probably be selling mine. They're brand new pretty much.

Hey, I'm in no position to criticise anyone buying nice stuff just because. Enjoy.

Did you get +

fair, you are/were right though, will report back if I live in the alps, might even take the stingers just dont want to crash in a nodder pile up.

I called HED they said they have same rim across the range so just went with the cheapest.

You got through to someone at HED UK ?!

LIES!

yeah, literally third ring, wheels will be shipped by 12 today, they said.

Black?

nah just the standard braking surface, these: http://www.hedwheels.com/proddetail.asp?prod=ARDPLUSGP

Fair. Am curious about the black brake tracks. @6pt tells me they stay black with usage. I'm skeptical though.

Good choice of wheels, I have some Jets (Ardennes underneath) and they are sublime.

Edit: Bloody good price that.

Some of the early ones were recalled. Plus I just wanted a standard brake surface as I have to swap pads anyway when I use the stingers. And they are mad pricey. Does @6pt have them?

I considered jets so i could have clincher set up and kill 2 birds .. but the tub benefit really outweighs the fear of the puncture, I just carry a stretched pre-glued tub.

Nice wheels bro

Jets (Ardennes underneath)

ORLY?

Yeah, Jets are just a carbon fairing glued onto their standard Belgium rims.

I don't have them, but would be willing to long-term test a pair if anyone's feeling generous.

Yeah I have a Jet 90, didn't realise they used the same rim. Fine mine v flexy, but then it is effectively an 18 spoke shallow wheel.

aaaand they are shipped, they did mention on phone that they were supposed to go up £50 last week because of brexit even the product description says £549 ..

Steve @ Hed UK is a dude.
Always give him a ring if you're after anything HED as he'll sort you out with what you need over the phone quicker than it would take you to remeber your password for online offerings.
