RS20 vs RS21

[MattHB]

anyone know the difference between them? Presumably the RS21 is the later model but I cant find much difference other than 11spd cassette compatibility.

 

[MattHB]

Anyone? Or was it a stupid question

Nope, all I can find is about the ability to use an 11speed hub...as if anyone using these wheels will run Dura Ace with them anyway.

Think you found out for yourself.

After all that i think I'm going for some falcrum 7 CX's instead. Seem excellent value and would make a good commuter wheel with the CX proof hubs

There could be an element of future-proofing - no doubt 11 speed will trickle down to cheaper groupsets at some point.

Isn;t the hub the bit that allows for the 11speed cassette rather than the wheel? ie you can always change the hub later.

That's what I thought too!

More or less - it's the freehub. Not a big deal, but an extra expense to consider if there's a possibility that you'll change to 11 speed at some point.

I have a set of RS20s which I use in the winter. Very good wheels that stay true and like all Shimano wheels are as good as anything, and better than most, in their price range.

I think they're too new for anyone to know much about them. I posted asking about the RS61 a couple of weeks ago and didn't get a response.
