Hi, looking at some Bontrager Race Lite wheels (not x lite) on a well known auction site.
Would be grateful for any opinions about them especially as i am around 180lbs, thinking of them as an upgrade on my current Shimano R500s.

    Decent wheels. They came on my Madone 4.7 and got about years use out of them with no problems. I've upgraded my wheels to Dura Ace now but these wheels would be an improvement on your R500s.

    Thanks for the reply, just a bit hesitant regarding the low spoke count. Will give them some thought :D

    I'm close to 200lbs and would have no hesitation in buying those wheels. Decent quality, well made and last for ages

    Have them on my Madone 5.2 and doing the Raid Pyranees on them in 3 weeks.

    Put nerly 2000 miles on them in training and no probs.
