Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

Yeah the silver rims really match the frame they are going on.

I’ve also ordered the even cheaper (£51) wheelset that’s supposed to be ready by the end of this month but January seems more realistic.

I bought the £51 set which arrived today. Have to say for the money they are excellent.

As a spare set of wheels they are unbeatable value.

I use Kinlin on 105 at the moment which have been great but when the rims chuck it I'll have these when I'm getting my unbreakable 105s built onto more Kinlins.

Any photos the £51 wheelset? I ordered without really knowing which rims I was getting. I think there were three models listed but I it wasn't really clear on how much the differed from one another. All I know is that they are 32h Alex rims.

Haud on

I'll take the decals off, not a fan.

They're very light, Hope like click from the freehub, I am a fan. As I mentioned bargain for luddites like me with the rim brake and all...

Yeah I think that’s the same rims I’ve ordered. Those are the same hubs on the fancy £100 set.
£51 is nuts, wish I’d ordered two sets now.

Edit: wrong thread

Ribble has some for even less, I've just taken a gamble on two, hope they are decent. The Arundel ones do look a bit sturdier :S

#superstarwatch update

My budget wheels (for the other half) just arrived too. I went for the R475 rim version, which I think is just the 30mm deep version of yours. Fairly narrow at c20mm external, but I knew that before ordering. C1700g for the 28h version, which is about on-spec. Mine appear to be true so far. Look decent, especially once horrible Alexrims decals come off.

Pretty happy with that for £50 posted!

Edit: don’t forget to buy rim tape though..

50mm Carbon Disc wheels for £339 from Sigma with SALE15

https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Vel/50-RL-Carbon-Tubeless-Disc-Wheelset/QS28?id=1249426

Yeah I'm tempted by these or the deeper aero ones. Road.cc review seems pretty good but I don't think I've ever actually seen Vel wheels out in the wild. Are they like Sigmas own brand?

Anyone own a pair?
