Add an extra £50 and get yourself some zondas and never look back

Like everyone else, dare to be different?

Dont like the zondas, its a toss up between,
the scirroccos 35mm £158 on sale at ribble
Ultegra 6800 £250 ish
Or some superstar ones (wish they had more images of their rims built up)

Will the ultegras really be worth £100 more though im thinking no...

 

[jack smith]

As for superstar
200 for 30mm rims
260 for 38mm. £60 difference!!!
Really want the 38 tbh

Also im thinking silver hubs will look better than black with silver spokes, what do you lot think? Kind of a zipp vibe.

Anyone else rode superstar? Stifness is key for me.

Just curious why you 'don't like' Zondas when you have the Scirrocos on your list?

 

[jack smith]

Too shallow for my liking (i know i still like the look of the ultegra though) i know it should be about performance but i want my bike to look moce to i actually want to go out and ride it and show it off. They are also over £100 more than the scirroccos

Just buy some fake Chinese Zipps, like this guy - I wouldn't have thought they'd be much more than £200-300.

I've got a pair of these on my Ribble

They look good, roll very well indeed, handle the rough roads & potholes excellently, have nice shiney spokes to reflect headlights at night

I bought mine from Planet X, at the Worsbrough store, where they were £149.95 (December), sadly they're out of stock at 'X' at the moment, so not on website (unless they still have pairs in store there??)
Had to use the link, from Evans instead (note original price!);

I woulnt get fakes they all just look cheap and tacky, id go with a plain carbon chinese wheel though aslong as it had an alloy brake surface. Dont think i couod spend a few weeks off the bike waiting on them though as ive a race in june i need to pick up the training for

 

[adamhearn]

Looked at ultegra I think wiggle were out of stock could possibly go that high they do have. Slow apoke count though and I'm 15 stone

I'm quite a bit heavier than you and I've got the same spoke count on my RS-10's.

 

[jack smith]

I had rs11's previously and i made them flop about alot at the back i tend to sprint out of the saddle alot snd climb 20 percent gradients out of the saddle everyweekend so i need a wheel thats very rigid, thats why im thinking maybe a superstar handbuilt.

I posted similar thread I was looking at the Fulcrum Quattros for £190 ish but have been swayed by the similar Campag Scirocco wheel set for £160 ish

 

[jack smith]

Have you got them already? Think they are what ill end up with if im honest

 

[jowwy]

How tacky showing someone elses bike and saying get the same fake wheels.......cheap shot

So are you saying they're not fakes then? Please clarify, what's the issue with using a pic which is already posted elsewhere on the forum?
