Replacement Wheel Suggestions.

[VeganWheels]

Pulled the Trigger & went with a pair of Vision Trimax 35 from Merlin Cycles,only time will tell if they improve the bike & me.
They are arriving tomorrow.
LBS is going to swop them out for me on Friday.
First ride on them will be Saturday.
Thank you to everyone that replied & offered advice.

Depending on your weight, number of spokes might be a consideration. Hand built is always worth a look, a company like DCR will advise on what’s suitable

Over rated wheels, spent £650.00 on a set, My Mavics are so much nicer. Now use the DCR as winter wheels, never again will i go Hand built.

You will not be disappointed....they are, IMO very very good value wheels and I hadn't mentioned them previously as don't pop up that often at a decent price. Having owned a couple of sets as well as the Trimax Carbon 45 I'll be surprised if you don't notice a significant difference - good choice.

£367 the pair delivered,it was too good an offer to pass it by.

Thank you for all the suggestions & advice.

Another question for you & anyone else who would like to comment.

Currently running Schwalbe one tubeless tyres,do i transfer these & pop tubes into them or lash out on new tubed tyres.

I assume,as both options will be running on tubes,it makes sense to get the value & wear out of my current tyres?

Makes perfect sense because that's what I'd do.....get your money's worth and make decisions when you need new

At least with DPD you have a good chance they will find them again. Yodel or hermes - no chance....

More faith than me,I hope they damn well do,especially given the first contact with Merlin Cycles to report the item lost.

Can’t Merlin just send you another pair? It’s up to them to sort with DPD surely

they delivered my beer, ordered Tuesday evening, this morning. They also tracked down and recovered a case of wine they had accidently dropped off with some PPE at a hospital a couple of weeks earlier and delivered it to us....have faith

DPD told me to contact Merlin & request they issue replacements,Merlin's attitude was call us tomorrow & if they have not arrived we will contact DPD & then either send replacements or if we don't have further stock available, issue a refund.
My gut instinct tells me that when they don't turn up tomorrow & by the time Merlin speak with DPD the wheels will be out of stock,as they are currently on offer.
Hope I'm wrong.

ask Merlin to put a pair aside?

They are not prepared to do anything until at least tomorrow afternoon.

Order another pair and return if not needed if concerned about missing out?
use PayPal to get return post covered?
