Can anyone recommend a cheapish set of 700c's suitable or can I use any old wheels. I've got a decent frameset but need to put together a beginners bike on a strict budget.
They will take quite a hammering so it's best to avoid low spoke wheels and anything thats a pain to re-true.
I raced last year on a set of Shimano R500 wheels costing about £60 a set. They actually stayed true! The only real downside is they were rather heavy.
I would recommend the classic tiagra or 105/ open-pro rims; strong, reasonably light and nice and easy to get repaired if anything does go wrong.
I raced on a set of Mavic Cosmic Elites bought off Ebay they are brilliant, strong and quite light, plus a set of Deore hubs with Mavic MA3 rims as back up
