• A question: was looking at a new wheelset and checked out the Hunt 4 season. Then compared them to a super budget Shimano RS1000 (these look similar to the RS010 set I have now).

    Having no complaints with my current super budget Shimano set (apart from pitted cones, though they have 10,000+ miles on them), I'm wondering if it's worth the jump to the Hunt £300 set or stick with the cheapo Shimano? I ride rim brakes, 23mm-25mm clincher tyres. Question is: would the difference be notable and worth the money or is it mainly marketing nonsense?

  • I don't like how Shimano wheels come with cup & cone bearings

    There are good arguments for cup and cone being superior, and other manufacturer's only using cartridge bearings because they don't have the scale or facilities to make bearings so they outsource the capital intensive work.
