I have a triban 3 great bike cant fault it except for wheels. Spokes keep coming loose. Can anyone suggest a decent replacement wheel. I am on tight budget.
Loose spokes again.

Agree with Adrian. The BTwin wheels are great for the money, even if the hubs aint sealed all that great! I have a set as back up that I turn to now and again.
How tight is the budget? If threadlock doesnt do the trick then expect to spend about £100 for a cheap shimano set, or £170 for a Mavic/Fulcrum/Easton replacement... Easton's EA70, Mavic Aksium, Fulcrum Racing 7.
EDIT - thats presuming you want racing style of wheel. If you're lugging weight I'd recommend a wheel with a MINIMUM of 32 spokes, preferably 36. For that you might need to investigate touring specific wheels

anything thats more reliable than the btwin set on my second set also. The spokes seem rubbish on btwin not up to job £100 how lightweight are they
