Currently on offer at around £130 - any good for a chunky monkey like me (90kg)????
It's just a hill. Get over it.

    A few of the 'more powerful' riders on here seem to go through Models Bs like they are made of cheese but I've got the C's, done fully loaded touring on them and got more than 12,000 out of the front wheel. I buckled the rear on a nasty pot hole after 8,000 but very happy still.

    if you buy them make sure you buy a spare freehub at the same time. when it eventually dies you wont be able to replace it for less than £40 as planet x wont tell you which freehub you need to buy but if you are buying it at the same time as you buy the wheels you should be able to get one for a tenner.

    planet x are rubbish, their customer service is terrible. i wouldnt touch them again.
