As every review seems to day, bikes in this price range tend to be let down by poor wheels. Therefore, I thought I might get some upgrades for mine sometime soon. Any suggestions or how much to spend and what to look out for? Being very tall makes me quite a heavy rider, about 85kg, so I'd want something fairly robust. Weight of the wheels themselves will be less of an issue, though I'm sure they will be lighter than the stock wheels currently on my bike that are well over 2kg for the pair.
I've looked at the Mavic and Fulcrum wheels in the £150 to £300 pound range. Fulcrum Racing 5's seem like good value. Are Mavic Aksiums comparable or are the Ksyriums significantly better?
