1750g, £150

I have a pair of wheels that Miro has mentioned below.
£50

Above even.

Probably max rider mass is 75 kg.

Looking for a rear wheel for my commuter. Any recommendations for strong, entry level wheels that have reasonably generous rim width? I'm running Shimano 10 speed.

Mavic a319/deore hub

Q: have Fulcrum quattro CX wheels right now, worth grabbing some Hunt Aero Wide for a good price? Or very little difference so not worth it?

If you need a pair, I'm selling Mavic a719 on XT hubs with dt competition spokes.

For reference I bought this - should have taken the wheels with it

Oh god, that front brake cable routing gives me nightmares.

Aksiums are bomb proof, after 4 years and a lot of miles my rear axel is bent, and some of the spokes are loose, but they run true. Hunts are pretty fragile, my friend hit a pothole with his on the first day and snapped a spoke he must be 60kg max,

If you're 80kg use the cheap, heavy wheels, lose 2kg of body weight and boom you've saved money and broken even in weight terms

Surely you'll have saved weight unless the lightweight wheel option is in fact weightless. To break even you just need to lose the difference in weight between the wheelsets, which is unlikely to be more than about 600g. Somewhere between a haircut and a really big poo.

Marginal benefits until you wear out a rim and have to replace it.

I like what you've done with the place! Give the man a cigar! Etc.

I have an entire year's worth of hair and beard at the moment, look something like this:

Definite weight gains to be made there. Then again @hippy also rocks the wild man look (no offence intended to him...) and his riding credentials are impressive, maybe his hair gives him Samson-power

@Chalfie those look ideal and great price... I might be pushing it a tiny bit at 85-90 kg total weight though. I'm not hard on my wheels and I know how to repair them and stuff but I think flex/stiffness is probably going to be an issue. How much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? Also maybe I'll inherit a bit of #buyer seeing as they used to belong to @amey

Will get myself in the weight loss thread and see how many kilos I can drop over the next month

@Dogs yeah it's mad. I haven't even got bars/stem together yet so not even thought about cable routing aside from noticing it was particularly weird on the front brake. I'll probably jam my foot in it by accident and smash the bike to bits

Just got around to doing this, 200 g off each wheel is worth 15 s on a 10 km, 10% climb at 275 W. Balls.

If you're a weakling like me though at 100 W it's 40 s.

(disclaimer: I have no idea what power I do)

Probably closer to 275W than 100W. Unless you have spectacularly low gearing.

On a good day I'm about 68 kg. In the nud.
Where are you based? You can come round and kick the wheels.

Superstar Pave 28s?

(disclaimer: i'd like to shift a pair of wheels. Both have been used)

They used to be great value, looks like superstar isn’t really selling road wheels at the moment?

Got some pave 28s on one of their sales for £125, 1600g, seriously cheap for the weight.

Yep. I could sell my pave or my kinlins.

Yeah, so fuck all. I can easily get 40s on someone just by shit talking or distracting them or getting them waste the night before or letting them do all the work early. So many cheaper ways to beat your mates up a climb :)
When we did our Tdf trips, my old LBS mate and me would always sit back on Day 1 and let all the testosterone fly so the headbangers were fucked for the rest of the week. Then we'd smash the bigger climbs later on while they nursed fatigue, depleted glycogen stores, hangovers, etc. :)

How would one go about designing and building a lightweight single speed rear wheel.

Currently got a Mavic ellipse but it weighs a ton and all weight is at rear of my bike.

Anyone done this sort of thing?

Absolutely no one has done this before.

I have a 600g rear wheel

Wow. Would like that! What wheel is it?

That’s why they call me a trendsetter
