Wheels / wheelsets list - FG SS Track

Just ordered a set of the On-one wheels, will let you know how I get on with them.

are the one on one wheel sets much better then the standard wheel set on a fuji classic (track) i've seen the fuji wheel set go for £80 on here would it be worth selling them and buying the on one's?

A lot of people complain about the fuji wheelset, I can't comment as I've never used one.

Not sure if the Fuji Classic wheel set is sealed either, whereas the On-One wheelset is.

Can anyone clear this up: these Shimanos (here and here) look nice enough and seem very reasonable. Anyone bought any and more importantly - do they come with a hub, built up? Tried calling Cyclebasket but to no avail.

And how're the On-Ones treating you, Spence?

^They are road wheels for gears and cassettes

Damn. I thought if they were without hubs I could lace them to something. Thanks a lot doubletap, looks like the On-Ones really are the budget wheelset of choice, unless you can say otherwise?

I wouldn't really call them a budget wheelset though, they are really strong and light, 2 things which I needed in a new wheelset.

Right.

Slaps down Amex

A wheel without a hub is a rim. And some spokes. Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Of course not. That's why your help helps.

any recommendations for a fixed wheel....?

See the OP, pick one.

Seriously though, you need to gives us some help here. Budget, use, look....etc.

someone lent me a fixed wheel bike the other week, and can't get enough of it! so decided to build myself one - thought some wheels would be the place to start, I bike a lot but not competitive......maybe £200 for a decent set thats smooth like butter. Been looking for some, (fixed) but most are freewheelers that i seem to come across, so i dont know if i'm missing something in my search...and they gotta look pretty gangstaaa =]

You could get a decent enougt set built for 200

You could defo get a decent set for that.

These are top draw, yet would only set you back £265
Goldtec hubs laced to Ambrosio excellence. Very nice indeed.

I cant help but keep looking at these....http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cid/JXPI1H0BWR908CJSTH0A8AFKQGES92SH/product-Dia-compe-Dia-Compe-Gran-Compe-Track-60th-Anniversary-Wheelset--700c--32-Hole-21360.htm
they are pretty tasty, but I dont know if I can quite justify the £300 mark yet...

Spokes are gold......with white rims and hubs. So needs careful matching or it would look a bit Pete Tong.

it would match my gold teef innit

lol nah, but cheers for the help, those http://www.outspokencycles.co.uk/wheelsets/excelgold.html ones look pretty good tho

£269 for the pair [£130 front]+[£139 rear]. For that price, the excellent hubs make the deal.
Though the chainline on those hubs isn't standard.

what does this mean?

Search CHAINLINE, especially looking up Sheldon Brown. All will be made clear.

Hi - in the original post the link to the SJS open pro build links to page selling an open sport build. Worth updating.

Good point.

For suitable crank and BB combos with the Goldtec hubs, if you go for them.

Another set of options for fixed gear wheels; all the Shimano RS* wheels will take a Surly Fixxer. The RS30 looks like it could potentially be faster than Ellipses for time trials and pursuits, and more than £100 cheaper even with the Fixxer. The soon-to-be-released RS80-C50 is on my shopping list, Shimano's lovely carbon laminate rims in a 50mm depth and likely to be under £750 after being Fixxed.

*and Ultegra-based Pro wheels, so RC50, 4-Rays and road discs
