Wheel Upgrade

afisher

Considering Upgrading the wheel set.

I have 3 Options so far.....

Mavic Kysrium Elite @ 430

Shimano RS80's @ 360

Fulcrum Racing 3 @ 385

or any other good suggestions would be very welcome

Thanks for your help

what sort of riding will you use them for most?

are you upgrading to...

cut weight?

lower drag?

other reason?

what're the current wheels/weight?

afisher

They will be for cutting weight mainly and a little more rigidity hopefully
As the i can feel the current standard bont wheels flexing when pushing hard.

Current bike is a trek 1.5 compact 2010 btw.

Merlin cycles has the RS80's for £320, I would go for them, probably the best weight for the money.

Or Pro Lite Braccianos, they are cheaper by around £70, and only weight 100g more.

Ribble sell the prolites for much less than that, when they are in stock. They are about the same weight as the RS80s but lots of reports of broken spokes and they don't sound easy to have fixed. I just got the RS80s, for £290 from CRC, they are my first quality wheels and so far I am impressed.

Planet x have the Fulcrum racing 3's for £275 a bargain i think?

afisher

that does seem like a bargain. think i may go for the fulcrum 3's for 275 it would be rude not to, although they have 1's for 400 which is tempting.....

I've just ordered the RS80s - there are so many positive comments about these wheels, I just had to have a set for my Cayo.
