Which wheel?

willo

I need a 650 training wheel for my tt bike. I've been offered an ultegra hub / mavic rim / tyre combo in "vgc" for £45 posted.

Alternatively, i can pick up a new Kyrsium 650 for £100. Is there any benefit in paying more for the Kyrsium (plus i'll need to find a tyre which will be an extra £30 or so?

Moral dilemma, particularly as i've verbally agreed to take the ultegra/mavic.

Try the cheap one and sell it on if you don't like it?

I'd be inclined to take the mavic/ultegra combo as a training wheel, without even considering the price (depending of course on the exact details, and what is meant by vgc). The price difference in favour of this (and by a significant margin), makes this a no-brainer, surely?!

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.
