£200 wheel budget

[jack smith]

Don't get me wrong I'm after a pair of Chinese clinchers (but alloy surface) but not branded

I'm lost now to be honest, the choice is bewildering I know, you're just going to have to choose!

Its going to be the scirroccos unless i can find some chinese wheels with alloy surface nefore monday night under £250

Why not look for a nice rear carbon wheel and buy a front one when you have the funds .

I need a full set to get out on and to race on, got my race of a lifetime start of june

Race of a lifetime - and a budget of £200??

Currently an unemployed student cant do much with budget

Fair enough - I've kinda lost track of this thread tbh. Remind me - what are you looking for in a set of wheels again?

Abit of depth and stiffness im 15 stone with massive legs and tend to flex wheels alot when climbing out of the saddle

For what its worth Jack , my 38mm carbons flex when I am out of the saddle before I get going . Once I am riding I don't notice any flex / brake rub but then I tend to try and not get out of the saddle unless I need too .

The thing with me is where i live and the group i ride with is we go out on weekends to purposley climb the steepest hills around, i can feel the back end flex in some wheels and its a horrible feeling it just sucks the power out of the pedal stroke. the sciroccos are getting great reviews for stiffness and so is the g3 spoke pattern

 

[Cuchilo]

Try climbing them sat down .

 

[jack smith]

Not on 25 percent plus lol

I'm the wrong side of 15 stone. Ex rugby player with legs like trees.... The Quattros don't flex..... at all.

If it were me, in your position I'd just get the strongest wheels you could afford for the money being 15 stone and prone to twisting wheels!

Surely the biggest gain for you would be the wheel with the least flex.
