Wheelset on a budget

[Sittingduck]

^Yep. I was severely tempted at 299 and regretted not getting them last time they were down to 240 (silver version only though). Glad I waited now...!

I was all but settled on Shimano RS80 C24, the new version, but at this price, I think I will buy the Pro-lite.

Just ordered a set, fingers crossed they have plenty of stock

They look nice, out of my price range I'm afraid. Cancelled the other wheels with my LBS as I didn't want to rush into anything.

Can anyone give me advice on a cheap wheel upgrade? I have a Giant Roam that has
Rims Giant CR18 DW aluminium
Hubs Formula
Spokes
Stainless steel

Is it worth upgrading them or stick with what i have?

Save some more then and hope they are still available, or get your parents to sub you the difference? They are as light as £500+ wheels. At £220, nothing can come close to them IMO. Even at £300, they were hard to look past but with stuff like the Shimano RS80 C24 being close contenders, albeit a tad heavier but with different design features, it was a tougher choice, but <£220 for the Pro-Lite, they are insane VFM.

Trust me, my mum was shocked when I even mentioned that I wanted to spend nearly 2/3rds of the price of my bike on some wheels! However, if anyone here wants to buy me a birthday present, you know what to get!

I got Shimano R501 300mm version for £76 but that was in the sale from Ribble, just checked and 24mm ones are out of stock but still have the 30mm in at £86 http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/ro...-30mm-bladed-clincher-wheels-pair/shimwhfr204, still a bargain though.
