Better Wheels
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 10:05 pm
Well ive had my Merida for about 2 months and have really enjoyed the switch from my old mountain bike. I've been thinking of doing some racing with a friend. Basically i was wondering how long my current rims will last me if i ride about twice a week, and on holidays pretty much 5-6 times a week.
As i have a limited budget of about 375$ i looked overseas to see if i could find some cheaper wheels. I found these two and was wondering if anyone new if they were any good, or atleast if they would be able to be fit onto my bike.

Set 2:

I'll also have to change tyres before i start racing but I'll probably just wait until i get a puncture in one of them.
thanks
