Hi, I currently have factory Ritchey DS Pro wheels on my Masi Evoluzione inc on bike when purchased. Had a few issues with spokes loosening etc. Would I notice a big difference upgrading to Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels versus these? Currently 90kg doing between 150-200k per week. Thanks

    Other than the spokes wouldnt be loose - what he says ^^

    Better to save and get some hand builts - i've just had some built for me by Ugo on here and am trying them out for the first time tomorrow. I'm taking off Fulcrum Racing 7's (actually keeping them to go fit with a turbo trainer tyre)

    FWIW Ritchey wheels are notoriously underbuilt. Fulcrum 7s are the bottom-end of factory built wheels - they're robust but pretty hefty. If you want a noticeable improvement, then something like a traditional-built wheel with 32 spokes and a Velocity A23 or Archetype rim may be better suited to your needs.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
