Recently treated myself to a Cinelli Gazetta frame, bought new stem and bars and headset but moved everything else over from my Charge Plug.
I would like to upgrade the wheels and my finacee has offered to buy me some for my birthday.
I would like to get some slightly aero/deep-ish rims (mainly just because I like the look), not that bothered about weight but I am quite heavy so they need to be strong.
I ride singlespeed and use both brakes atm so need wheels I can use brakes with:
Budget is approx. £150 although if there’s something much better that isn’t too much more that would be fine.
Current possibilities:
V-Sprint wheels from the deal on here, Miche hubs, with black 30mm machined rims (DP18) £134
http://www.parkersofbolton.co.uk/p-2190-700c-pegasus-single-speed-fixie-flip-flop-wheels-black.aspx
Weinmann Pegasus rims with painted braking surfaces and Novatec large flange hubs with sealed cartridge bearings. Hollow axles £140
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/?s=halo+aero
Halo Aero track wheels and Halo SB hubs £140
Also happy to consider anything else.
I have seen people asking if V-Sprint could still get Novatec hubs so thinking they might be slightly better than the Miche ones?
