Another Wheel set thread...

teagar

Having been keeping an eye on all the wheel set threads here, and searching the forum I still can't find an answer, so I was wondering if you guys could help...

My 21st is coming up and I've decided to go for a wheel upgrade, since I'm undertaking a serious cycling holiday in the pyranees in the summer, and the rims are wearing a bit thin...

I ride a 2005 Specialised Allez with the Alex rims that came with it. I'm thinking a pair at around £200-250 would make a noticable difference. Not too keen on spending too much more.

Anyway, I only weigh 56kg, which I think changes the kind of wheel I'm looking for really. How much will I need a bombproof wheelset?

I thought these: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/ ... /xr-1-8941
xerox lite X-R1s looked good, since they're as light as some £350 wheels, but also these kora streamlines, which barely weigh more but have a slightly more aero advantage.

Or maybe these Eastons

I just don't know!

Can you help please?!?

Teagar, just bought the Xero Lite XR 210 from local bike shop. Could not believe how light they were. Was going to get a set of Mavic equips but change my mind once I felt the weight of the Xero's. Very noticable difference in the back wheel. Put them on the bike today and went out for a spin. Wow what a difference also put Pro Race 3's on them. Could not believe the difference these wheels have made.
