Hiya,
I'm looking to upgrade my wheels and I've narrowed it down to these few, I need some advice please! I do mainly Crit racing and some open road stuff and need a pair of nice, light and stiff wheels for sprints etc. What would you recommend? (or are there any others?)

Thanks

Jim

    I would avoid the DT like the plague unless you're 75kgs or less - the rim eyelets begin to split after a few weeks use. Had many pairs replaced and eventually gave up and threw them away - junk!

    cheers, I am under 75kgs during the summer but apparently I put out a lot of power;) So they will prob. be off the list!

    Yes, heard the same. Very lightweight, ideal as climbing wheels for a real lightweight rider, but wouldn't be solid enough for crit-type racing
