Wheelset on a budget

[stumpy66]

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.

I bought some.

Wish i was on commission with these orders

I was already very close to buying them see my comment in 2wd thread a few weeks ago But you did tip me over the edge when I was steering away back toward the Shimano wheels.

Mine have been dispatched.

CRC says that they've now discontinued the Shimano freehub version.

 

[stumpy66]

Phew, glad I ordered yesterday then. Mine were dispatched at 7am this morning, very prompt.

Ordered my Bracciano's on Sunday morning after deliberating for a month between those and the Shimano RS80s

Bracciano's have brilliant reviews and for the offer price from CRC make them a no brainer

Like Typhon I was emailed this morning at 07.26 saying they'd been despatched

Well they may have been dispatched on Monday morning but finally in the last couple of hours the parcel force tracking number works and reveals they received the parcel at 7pm tonight.

It's only a slight niggle but when they said delivery would be in 1-3 days they should have just said 3 days if they weren't going to send out the items until the end of the second day. I had to make arrangements just in case they arrived today when now I know there was no chance of that.

The brake pads I ordered came today, in a parcel larger than shoe box. I kid you not. A neighbour had to take it in for me as obviously it wouldn't fit through the letterbox, she asked if I had ordered a box of air. What a waste, you could fit 20 packs of those in a jiffy bag!

This was my first order with chain reaction and I am not too impressed compared to the always excellent wiggle thus far. The product will be worth it in the end though I'm sure!

Hi guys

I'm going to go for the Fulcrum 7s from JeJamesCycles, http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/fulcrum-racing-7-shimano-wheelset-id67961.html

Not light, but decent price and a solid pair of wheels, not likely to give you any problems. I have a pair for clattering around (they replaced some Shimano RS10's that started pinging spokes after about 3 years of brutal use and abuse) and they are decent.

Yes mine arrived an hour ago
Had them delivered to work and have been showing them off to everyone
Very sexy wheels
They can't understand why I want to make love to them though

 

[Rob3rt]

Mine look like they will be out for delivery tomorrow, should probably order some tyres and tubes for them I guess.
