Hi
Ive been thinking of buying some Mavic Askiums but was just wondering are there any other decent wheels for around 200? Mainly for a bit of u16 racing
Thanks

+1 for Kinetic. Love mine, took off some Aksium's to put mine on. Kinetic's customer service is about the best I've ever come across.Coupla Road Bikes0

I bought Pro-Lite Braccianos for 190 from Ribble and love them to bits, great climbing wheels. But they're hard to get due to the popularity and the price has gone up a bit lately.http://www.strathspey.co.uk - Quality Binoculars at a Sensible Price.

Model B's or Bracciano's - I have these and they are excellent for the money even if they've gone above £200 - much lighter than the others too (1480g) where as Model B's are aroun 1650g IIRC and those Kinetics are 1900g+
Some say the Model Bs could be stiffer. I find the Braccianos comfortable yet still stiff (run them with GP4000s tyres) - don't know about the Kinetics but obviously good comments above.
There's also the bomb proof Fulcrum 5s - don't worry about loud freehubs - a bit of grease on the stepped part of the hub where the pawls engage makes them quieter.

Model B's for £100 you can't go wrong, they replaced a pair of Aksiums on my winter bike, just so much better!0

Aksyums, maybe a little heavier, but solid wheelset.
Have been through downtown cobblestones, rain or shine and those things stay true. The spokes are "aerodynamic" with the flat design instead of round.
If you find the right time, with weekly or season online offers can be bought for around 200.00.0 -

Add me onto the Kinetic One wheels fan club.
I own 2 sets of them )2010 Black version and 2011 Red version)
Awesome, amazing, good looking, roll sweet as you like and take some serious punishment as I use them full time and when I say all weather I mean all weather, I rode them all through winter.
You don't need look elsewhere for any other sub £200 wheels, Kinetic One have it sorted.0
