All Round Wheels
Postby averagerider » Wed May 08, 2013 10:44 pm
Firstly I realise all wheels are round but didn't know what else to call them
I'm 180cm about 87kgs
Have up to $1000
Would prefer to stay away from carbon as I probably wouldn't treat them right
Flat terrain mainly but am increasing the amount of trips I'm doing to climb
A lot of knowledgable people on here and was wondering if you can give some ideas
Thanks heaps for any replies
Luke

Looking for a new wheelset now with a budget similar to your own. Very hard to look past the Dura-ace 9000 c24, I'd buy another set of rs80s but feel the need to upgrade (yeah that extra 100g is really slowing me down).

Your help is greatly appreciated

Alchemy or Chris King Hubs
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Pacenti, H Plus Son or HED alloy rims.
These options should be within your budget. Otherwise if you want to save a bit of money you can try White Industries hubs.

Yes I built a wheelset with that rim and very pleased with it. Quite a strong rim thanks to its width and depth. Lovely ride thanks to be able to run 10psi lower pressure. Cornering is very good.brawlo wrote:Or also consider the Kinlin XC-279 rim.__PG__ wrote:Custom options.

Dan at Shifter bikes is often recommended for wheel building but many shops will offer to build custom wheels for you. In Melbourne's nothern suburbs there is Commuter cycles and Jetnikoff cycles.averagerider wrote:PG & usernameforme when you speak of custom made do you mean you build them yourself or there are shops that make them for you.

Give Greg a call and have a chat about what you want, as I said I love my wheels, they have transformed my bike and was under $1000

Most bike shops should have a wheelbuilder, probably worth going around and asking at your local shops. There a few online builders too in Aus, like TWE mentioned earlier. A set of Pacenti SL23s/H+Son Archetypes laced to Alchemy hubs would be great for you, although that might start pushing the budget a little...averagerider wrote:are there shops that make them for you.
