Shimano all the way. They've been around for quite a while and they're reliable in my opinion. Good luck on getting to 85kg, you haven't got much left.0

This question at this price point is asked several times a week!
At your weight get some handbuilts. 32 rear 28 front. Shimano too flexy for your weight, more likely to break spokes etc and much easier to repair handbuilts, and a hell of a lot cheaper.Insta: ATEnduranceCoaching

I was swaying shimao but wanted opinons on others. Im on 20 fronts 24 rears atm. Even at my starting weight of 17 odd stone.
Ill have a look for these other posts.
The other thing i was thinking is, is it worth 200quid to save 500grammes of weight over a cheaper set of wheels at 2kg and about 150quidTrek 1.5 Road

If you are 85kg, No.I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0 -
