Does anyone have any experience of these wheels and/or know or have any views on whether one should be preferred over the other? Looking to upgrade from Fulcrum Racing 5s and seeking something all black - using rim brakes so there aren't many options....Cheers!

DT Swiss Dicut PR 1400 Oxic are supposedly great and have better long term brake track wear than the Fulcrums. They are Tubeless ready and cheaper too!

Or get Noble Wheels in London to build you up some Boyd Ceramic rims (they look and sound amazing).

If you are tempted by Fulcrum PX have a set of Nites for £700

Thank you - hadn’t considered the DT Swiss, but they look great.

I've been wanting a pair for a while. ACycles seem to be the cheapest at the moment

Is it total madness to buy used wheels, unseen, off eBay?

There are genuine sellers on eBay, as there are sharks.
My concern with wheels would be spoke fatigue. Rim trueness and bearing wear should be fairy easy to see immediately.

If you want black brake surfaces just get carbon wheels. I don't see those surviving a single day in muddy lanes

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
