Fast forward F6r wheels

[Paul139]

I've been a very lucky boy and been given some money to spend on my bike. I'm looking at the above wheels probably with the alloy braking surface. Anyone used them and got any experience of them? Would you recommend them?

Would you recommend them?

Recommend them for what ? Time trialling, maybe, but there are far lighter wheels out there for far less.

Put that money in your pension fund. You don't need new wheels. You'll thank me later.

Good wheels for crit & road racing.

At a 'svelte' 1900g?? I think not.

Bl00dy hell, hadn't realised they were so heavy Pure TT wheels then.

I have some of the all carbon F4R wheels which give the areo rim but lighter (1480g for the set) and less sensitive to side winds and love them as good all round wheels (for my style of riding).

And what would that style be?

And what would that style be?

What I would call a decent distance at what I would call a decent speed.

And what would 'decent' mean in this context?

 

[flatflr]

I could have put all sorts of caveats in there but I didn't think it was necessary, but I would describe as decent for me.

I happen to have a set of F4R in full Carbon also. I too find them as a decent set of wheels for my style of riding.

All jokes aside, they are a cracking set of wheels. Fast, but less susceptible to crosswinds and a lot lighter than the F6R's that I was planning to get. Perfect for all round riding.

The Carbon rims offer superb braking with Swissstop Black Prince pads too.

Well I bought them and I love em. Got them from my Local Evans store in Chelmsford where I got fantastic service.

You love the way they look? Or the way they add +500g to the weight of the bike?
