Hi guys,
Apologies if this isn't in the right place.
I started biking again 2 years ago and went from mountain bike to road bike as most people but could do with some help on what wheels to buy for my road bike.
Everything was going well with my current set but i have had 3 buckles on the rear wheel in the last 4 rides (all repaired by my local shop) - the last one being this week on the Dunwhich Dynamo. I could have sworn I didn't hit anything (although clearly I must have) so am assuming that they are a bit screwed up from my previous adventures.
I currently have Easton EA30s on my cube Peloton and cant justify getting a new bike as I'm not fit enough yet on my current level of bike.
I only spent £1000 (thank you cycle to work scheme) so don't want to spend ridiculous amounts on the set - maybe £200-£300 - any ideas/suggestions (other than stop hitting potholes )?
I keep seeing debates on weight v areodynamics but get a bit lost and don't imagine at my budget that it really matters....
