New wheels
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 4:43 pm
Looking for some advice on new wheels/performance upgrades
I have Raceline bike that is around 5 years old.
I have got back into riding after a fair break and am doing rides between 50 - 150 kays. The wheels on it are basic 32 spoke Alex rims and I was thinking of upgrading to something Lighter/faster at a reasonable cost, as against upgrading the whole bike, which If I was going to would be to a carbon frame/105 equipped equivalent which would be a bit outside the budget! I like the bike anyway even if it is only sora equipment level, and a little heavier than some fancier bikes...
Any thoughts on what type of wheels on a sub $400 budget? I weigh 83kgs and am not to tough on wheels generally. Could the money be better spent ?
Cheers
