Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

Oh man, I bought a pair 3 weeks ago. grumbles...

Without meaning to rub it in, they've been running the code all through July, if you bought it this month it might be worth chucking them an email and explaining?

They are crazy rude over email. Would not bother.

Really? I didn't have problems when asking lots of stupid tech questions over a small £12 purchase

Ultegra 6600 are silver. The newer versions are light grey which is the colour most hubs turn after a week in the UK anyway and you could polish them if you were really a tart. I wanted the DA because black but price, no thanks.

What was the code out of interest? I did use a discount code already though. I'm not that cheesed off as I paid £170. Still, it's a few beers.

PAVEDEAL was the code.

It still works.

So much fail... just checked. ordered the wheels 29/06.

I'd say at £144.90 they are an absolute bargain.

That's good, just ordered a pair.

Your welcome.

Heavy fuckers though...

Yeah it's active for the whole of July. Got myself a pair as well.

I'm at bit late on this, but my wife has DT Swiss R24 and I have Fulcrum Racing 5LG, and I would definitely go for former over latter having ridden both. The R24's are nicer in all respects in my opinion.

Are vittoria latex inner tubes prone to exploding? Just fitted two and both of them blew out at seemingly random points at about 50 psi

Needless to say, I'm mad af

Yeah fuck em

Not really. You probably twisted or pinched them?

Are vittoria latex inner tubes prone to exploding?

I've been using them this year and they've been fine, much better than Michelin.

@miro_o I was exceedingly careful, and both blew in a place where I wouldn't expect pinching to occur. I'm a little skeptical of the rim-tape of my wheels but...

@amey take a hike

@mdcc_tester hmmm, will get some more and see what happens.

I still mad tho

They're incredibly easy to pinch and the valve failed on one of mine too. I've still got one in the front wheel but I can't really tell the difference over a butyl tube. They're too expensive to risk having them explode.

Stopped bothering with latex a while ago. They're nice, but they're unreliable and not worth the faff IMO. If rolling resistance and avoiding pinch flats is that important to you, just get tubs...

Tubeless

Ugh. Mess. Maybe for cross if I did that. Clinchers are fine for road, tubs for track.

Mile 1941 today; zero issues; flats etc. I talc'd them pre-install.
Also have tubs with latex tubes; even nicer.
