My Pinarello FP2 - With new Kysriums

Here is my Pinarello I bought for an absolute bargain off Wiggle last year.
Upgraded with some Mavic Kysriums Elites last week from Rick Greens (not had chance to take them for a proper spin yet).
First impressions are that they are considerably lighter than the Shimano R500's they replaced.

Same as my White one.... Er only black.

Again, a bargain picked up from WIggle. Hope to post pics once I've upgraded the wheels and cleaned it.....

Enjoy, I know I do

heathy_76

What wheels are you looking at out of interest?

The heart is saying these.....

The plan was to keep the existing wheels (shimano RS500's) just as a winter or training wheel. I ain't been impressed with them at all and any write ups on the bike say it's the first thing that should be changed.

I know a guy rides the 50's and rates them highly, but he is in a position to chop and change them with other wheels as and when he needs to. I'm not too sure about riding 50's all through the summer, so a set of the 24's may be a more sensible option

heathy_76

That's my plan with the RS500's. To be honest I haven't had any problems with them (touch wood) but I would like something a bit lighter.

The 50mm RS80's look great but about £100 over my budget. I'm currently looking at Ksyrium Elites but I may consider the C24's now as they are over £100 cheaper. Thanks for that.

After the new wheels it's a new saddle; not as comfy as I'd like. Ridden on worse but I'll be looking at a Fizik (when funds allow).

Eventually chose the Kysriums - see OP for new image.

Well, I've gone from some 34 spoke Bontrager wheels off my old Trek 1.1 so I've noticed quite a difference in weight. The bike just seems a bit more lively, climbs hills more easily and rolls better, I also upgraded my tyres from Bontrager Sport to a set of Michelin Pro 3's so this will also contribute to the difference.

Overall I'm very happy with them.

Just what I wanted to hear.
Hopefully I'll be giving them a spin up Mow Cop come Wednesday.
