Currently running a set of Campag Centaur hubs on Mavic Open Pro rims. Had them for about 7 or 8 years now so now thinking of upgrading. Budget would be £500 tops. Currently looking at

Easton EA90 SL
Fulcrum Racing 3
Campag Neutron

Opinons?

    I have a set of Easton EA90 SLX's.... very nice.
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!
  • I have a brand new pair of Novatec Jetfly wheels for sale. They are now surplus to me and you could have them for £250 (normal retail is £375) if you are interested.

    They get a 4.5 / 5 review on the Bike Radar "Bikes and Gear" site. Still in their original packaging and ready to go.

    I have the MTB lighter version for my Scott and i must admit they run very smoothly.

    I recently got a pair of the Fulcrum Race 3's - whilst it is only early days I am very pleased with to date. I opted for Fulcrums as they are supposed to be good for the heavier rider!

    I picked them up for £360 from Evans - although I believe Merlin had them for £300 (although this may have been 2008/2009 spec)

    For what it's worth, I can't speak highly enough of these wheels. I got mine secondhand from the Novatec-sponsored junior team and they are lovely - very light and sweet bearings. I'm heavy (90kg) and they do flex a bit, but seem more than up to the unenviable job of supporting me.

    I got the Fulcrum Racing 3s recently [for £300] and am very happy with them.
    Run really nicely and feel solid. Look good too!

    If you like campag -

    Record hubs on IRD rims, Sapim CX Ray spokes for lightweight and strong...
