Dolan Seta carbon

Ok after I sort out my temporary wheels I wanna move towards saving and building this bike's proper wheels.
After riding it at 7.5kg I've realised I don't care too much about it being crazy light.
So now I'm considering going for some 88mm carbon clinchers, what do you guys reckon?

there is one rim on ebay, at a v good price
88mm clincher 18h

Link?
Also not sure if 18h would be enough, even being that deep.
Was thinking 20front and 24rear.

How are you measuring those wheels Indra?

Such a stirrer lol

I am running a 808 16h and its as strong as my other 36h hoops

hhmm, how much do you weigh.

You really shouldn't.

If I were you, I'd just replaced the part with decent component whatever the weight is.

Most of the components are decent apart from the saddle and wheels.

Thinking possibly these:

If I can save enough money and get them delivered in time for the slave slide.

I was afraid of this question.

85kg (a bit over 13 stone)

Ah I should be fine then, I'm 12.
But then again chinese carbon≠zipp 404

88mm front and rear is pretty impractical, why not go 60mm?

88mm front and rear is pretty impractical

+1, just go 88mm for the front for this classic hhsb mismatch

60 mm is perfect imo... saying that, my 50s were getting pretty wayward in the wind the other day.

It is and I guess I could do that, probably end up being more though.

I dunno how my OCD would feel about that...

Do you find double 50 to be worse than double hed?

Or it could be cheaper....

"Ed, for christs sake, lowering a saddle is not the answer to everything."

...but wouldn't it be great if it was?

Similar tbh.

Similar tbh.

Ok, I managed to ride ok on a pretty gusty day with aerospoke read and hed 3 front but this build is gonna be lighter.

I've found a decent deal on a 60mm wheelset.

+1 on 60mm from me

cough Someone should definitely potatochop different wheelsets onto my bike to persuade me cough

Upgraded your fork while I was tehre.

Will you look at that, TM have his saddle angled correctly!

hahahaha what a chop, tm you have rep

"Will you look at that, TM have his saddle angled correctly!"

Yep, saddle angle is perfect, just need to raise the back or lover the front of the bike.
