[andsaw]

Has anyone heard of these http://www.parkersofbolton.co.uk/p-...1&cadevice=c&gclid=CP_Y-8fCur8CFW3MtAodsAQA0w i would be interested to hear what you would think and for the price, i have never heard of them and would spares for these be available, i'm running R501's at the moment but need a freewheel hub and there's none in the country even shimano have said none till August and have about £150 to burn, i have never had experienced sealed bearings and are the make good quality or not.

What happened to "dare to be different"?!

 

[vickster]

I wouldn't know where to start with wheels...

If the OP is considering something other worldly (dunno as link doesn't work, just goes to parkers homepage), then cool

 

[Cyclist33]

Ok... link works fine for me - they look okay. Not as good as the Racing 5s though!

 

[Cyclist33]

(I meant to say, they *look* better aesthetically but not technically.)

7's are a tad lighter

 

[MrWill]

They look rubbish to what else you can get for the same money.

Rs21, Rs31, Fulcrum 7,T, Campag Khamsin, Vento and soooooooooooooooo on.

Or another pair of R501 for 65, or slightly more for better Fulcrum 5 etc.

They will definitely be a bit stiffer. The R501 flexed loads and rubbed the brakes when I had them.

I had the 30mm rims with aero blades and didn't have that problem at all even for a 14 stoner.
