Would the rs30 wheelset from Shimano be ok to use with v brakes on my 700c hybrid bike ?
I'd also like to put gatorskin 700/28 on them if the rims will accept these tyres
Would the rear wheel be strong enough to carry a rackpack with a few spare clothes for the odd couple of nights b&bing ?
I've been putting carbon parts here and there to pimp my bike up ( its a very nice light and strong Marin frame ) and I have got the weight down to a midges over 21lbs.
I'm hoping to save a little more weight and help the bike roll faster. It currently has wtb dual duty 700c rims on the wheelset which are strong enough for light cycle camping but it would be nice to have it with faster wheels the rest of the time. Thanks

Cracking wheels the rs30s and your wishlist i think would fit, and i would imagine strong enough, but not the lightest of that price. They roll well at speed, i would describe them as more performance than camping.

Dont take my word as gospel, tho!
