Any views on good road bike wheels for doing about 4000 miles a year in all weathers? I ride a Trek 1.5 road bike (10 speed)
So far I've had:
- Bontrager wheels (stock) - Ok but had to have rear hub replaced twice in the life of the wheels (about £35 each time). Lasted 4.5k before rims wore out
- Fulcrum Racing 7 LG - Feel good but bearings had to be replaced after 2k (£70!!). Rims shot again after about 4k.
I like the look of Shimano WH501 as pretty cheap and not sure the sealed bearings of thd Fulcrums are so great given replacement length and cost.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
