Best £150 wheels

shed-dweller

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a set of wheels for around £150 (although this could be stretched if the extra money would really be noticeable in the wheels) and to me it seems that Shimano RS20s look like the best bet (seen them for £100!).

Does anyone have any other opinions?

Cheers.

planet X Model Bs seem to be highly regarded. Was going to buy some for the winter bike, but bought a pair of Fulcrum racing 7s from my LBS for 100 quid instead. Don't know if I made the right decision

I have had a pair of Fulcrum 5 wheels for a year now and they are still true after riding over lots of pot holes and the bearing are smooth.

I would never buy a pair of RS20's - I had to wait 3 months for a spoke, then the spoke came without a nipple, so waited another 2 weeks for a nipple @ £1.50 a go!!!

The spoke broke when riding along the flat, applying normal pressure to the pedals. The spokes are highly strung and pop easy in my opinion.

I have seem a review saying they are suitable for CX - I would love to see that!

Don't be afraid to use the search feature (top right) you will see a few other people looking for RS20 spokes etc

I got myself a pair of these, from here.......

I likes 'em a lot, but what Percy Vera says about spokes worries me a bit. I guess I should buy some in advance

Regarding the spokes, I think the supply chain is back up and running - Madison now have stock, although I would buy a few just in case.

Would it help if I told you I'm about 55kg so breaking spokes is unlikely to be an issue? Also, regarding the RS30s, they're actually over 100g heavier than the 20s, which probs means they're stronger, which isn't really necessary for me
