Wanted: Carbon road wheels

Posted on
  • I'm looking for a set of road wheels, would prefer some carbon tubs but clichers are fine, as is aluminium ;)

    I have a decent budget so show me what you gots!

    Nothing much deeper than 50mm, sram compatible and preferably 8-10 speed compatible (not essential though).

    Thanks

  • Cheers Apollo, not sure the Gipiemme's could handle a season being raced on though..

  • Shimano or Campagnolo?
    Not Carbon I know but..

    Basically I'm having some race wheels built up around a new FRM carbon hubset with CX-rays and Kinlin rims for the all black look and I seriously need to thin my wheels out..so the Open pros & the SSCs have to go.

    Good for you..

  • Are the SSC shimano/sram?

  • Hi mate. We ( v-sprint) are launching our new range of wheels in 4 weeks which will include some carbon road and track wheels...www.v-sprint.com. Ive got a pair of samples for sales. 50mm carbon clincher sapim bladed spokes race ready. All black. Will be selling for £750. These are £450 posted. Do a search under my name if you want to see the feedback on our wheels etc.

  • Cheers Varno, I was looking for tubs preferably, but will have a think.

    Shimano
    and tubs are old skool now anyways, apparently more and more riders (even cat 1) are going with clinchers, it's the future:o)

  • I was at the Otley Crit last night, and you are right, lot's of guys on clinchers..

    I'm still looking for wheels though...

    clinchers seam to have a lower rolling resistance overall so it makes sense in a race.

  • Call me oldschool, I would just rather race on tubs. Forget science, for me they just feel better.

  • Give Vaidas bicycles a call, they're building great carbon wheelsets

  • I'm in Leeds so they are a bit far out, I'm also allergic to buying new stuff from shops ;)

  • tightarse ;)
