Wheel options?

[Cuchilo]

All wheels will wear like that. The only ones that won't are disk wheels, which don't apply in this case. Everything on a bike will need replacing eventually.

Apart from the frame .

Apart from the frame .

Broke 2 frames out of the last 4 bikes I have owned , both near the BB shell ! :-(

 

[Cuchilo]

What bikes ? so I can steer clear

 

[vickster]

Carbon ones I'd wager

 

[VamP]

Frame is just another component, it's just as likely to need replacing as anything else.

As is the rider .

RS10's £99.99 from Planet-X Black or White rims, better than R501's but nothing really in it, I weigh 76Kg and i have had the bike up at about 18Kg, mainly over the rear wheel.Over 5,000 miles since April and not a problem, the stock wheels I got through about 8 rear spokes in 10 months, got the RS10's when the front axle gave up, don't ask me, I never figured out what was wrong with it, serviced regular.

RS10's £84.15 at Ribble at the moment which includes 10% off. Bargain set of Shimano wheels

I had considered getting some rs 10`s for x mas but you reckon they are not any better than the 501`s i already have?

Never had any R501's so cant make a direct compression, just from reviews I read at the time, what I can say is they are a pretty good all round wheel for the price and at £84.15 as @oiljam says even better, I think planet-x offer free postage, (£93 at Ribble just checked) R501's can be had for about £70, the RS10's are lighter and have less spokes.

£93 but use MOVE 10 and get an extra 10%, warehouse clearance....free delivery aswell

 

[smokeysmoo]

I want something strong really which won't break

As a wiseman once said, buy cheap buy twice!

If you really want strong wheels then revise your budget a bit and get HALO AERORAGE.

Front Rear

They are quite simply bombproof. £189 - job done

Sorry yea you did say with discount, does that apply to the R501's because that would make them a really good bargain, sorry but my eye has been playing up all week.
