Hi, just bought my first cx bike (second hand) and would like a new set of wheels. Any recommendations? I'm 85 kgs and will be using them for road and cx races. I have mavic askiums on my road bike which have give no bother in 4 years but are these strong enough for cx racing. Cheers

    If you want them for CX then these would be awesome: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=621 especially if wanting to run tubeless.

    Wont run high enough pressure on those rims for proper road use though.

    I bought a 2nd hand Tricross, the stock wheels were very heavy, swapped them for my old road Aksiums, so far so good! I did a 70mile flatish off road ride with them and still good and true.

    Unless you were very heavy, and hitting lump and bumps hard you should be fine.

    I have used RS80s for the last two season so Askiums should easily be up to the job, just depends on how lucky or clumsy you are
