Buckled rim, loose free wheel. Can I buy a rear wheel only

[Peter Armstrong]

What's wrong with different wheels on? Is it un cool?

The wheels will be for racing and training only.

 

[Dusty Bin]

whats with the errrs and wtf?

A deep section/aero rim will benefit you at any speed, unless you are climbing, in which case it won't be much use really. In fact, there was some data I saw fairly recently which showed that the most benefits seem to be gained by slower riders....

 

[Peter Armstrong]

I'm going to get a wheelset although I can not decide between the 3. Any ideas?

Very big price range between the three there... Almost non comparable, I think you need to set a budget and tell us what your looking for out of it to get the best advice

New contender

Planet X 52mm Carbon Clincher Wheelset 1796g £399.99 http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPPX52CCL/planet-x-52mm-carbon-clincher-wheelset

Thats an amzing offer right?

 

[jack smith]

I've heard great things about them, but you really I are looking all over the place price range wise, as I said before set a price and a list of things you want from it, no point in comparing wheels that are a few hundred to over 1k totally different things.

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Im looking for value for money over the key aspects, 50mm ish rim, and weight.

e.g I carnt see the justification between the mavic and the Shimano. An extra £355 for 13g lighter, thats less that a slice of cheese.

 

[Dan B]

What do you have against cheese?

 

[Rob3rt]

Weight is not the only concern with regards to wheel choice and price differentials.

Weight is not the only concern with regards to wheel choice and price differentials.

Give me your opinion, at the mo i like the Mavics

 

[jack smith]

Those planet x's you linked are a great set for the price, they could indeed tick all your boxes then mate
