  • Im looking to upgrade my current stock wheels when i came across these.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Single-Speed-Track-Wheels-Fixie-Urban-Bike-Wheelset-Flip-Flop-Alloy-Black-/171224796034?_trksid=p2054897.l5671

    Are these any good?

    Im new here and this is my first single speed upgrade/project.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • No.

  • Good.

  • Whatsoever.

  • Free cheese ?

  • These wheels weigh 3,6kg, so about twice as much as regular wheelsets this price, and they are probably quite flexy as well, plus impossible to true. Get some mavic ellipses as a real update or a nice handbuilt wheelset with Mavic Open Pro/H+son Archetype/whatever laced to Novatech/Miche/... hubs. Will be slightly pricier than 200 probably, but definitely worth it.

  • Free cheese? How appropriate...

    Seriously mate, anything that is even vaguely round will be better than these.

    Check out V-Sprint for good value wheelz; @varno is on here and plenty of forumengers have bought them.

    Thread here and there's a forum discount code somewhere, good for 10%.

  • If you used the whole cheese it would make a better wheel.

    As above V-Sprint is a good way to go. It's a bit difficult to understand Varno's ads but persevere.

  • If you used the whole cheese it would make a better wheel

    It would have to be done caerphilly, though

  • Still, tons have done it.

  • Seriously though, Varno's wheels are un-Brie-lievably good value...

  • But to answer the OP: those wheels are definitely no Gouda.

  • In fact, I wouldn't go Paneer them.

  • DO NOT BUY.

  • You've gloucester plot.

  • ^^these wheels cheddared quickly!

  • A guy I know bought one of these to his rear wheel I didnt really know what to say to him.
    Just changed the subject.

    Swiss wheels.

  • You'll find you Camembert these cheap flexy things, I Dauphin you'd do better than Varno for the dorrar.

  • Dairyleave it to us to advise him though?

  • He'd have to be crackers!

  • I hope he's got a Cheesini frame.

    Think I cantalndle many more of these puns

  • You've gouda be kidding me?

  • Just buy them if you're fondue of them.

  • Bet there's stiltons of these available...

  • Wish this rarebit had never been started.
