I have Shimano RS10 on bike at the moment and saw some New Ultegra 6700 for £200 and wonder if its worth the step up. Not a big step but money is a little tight after new bike

    Have you consulted with your partner about this purchase?

    If there is nothing wrong with the RS 10s then it's probably not worth spending £200 on the 6700's, however if your current wheels are shot the 6700 aren't a bad replacement. If you have the urge to 'upgrade' something 50 quid or so spent on decent tyres would be where I would spend my money.

    If there's no problems with your existing wheels I'd suggest sticking with them through the autumn & winter months and consider replacements in spring if you're still that way inclined.

    The Ultegra wheels are very good indeed and that's a nice price. If you can afford it you won't regret it.

    Was thinking that the RS10 are new with tyres so maybe able to get £50 - £100 back on them so effectively making the cost of upgrading £100 -150.

    Keep justifying it to yourself! You're nearly there! :D

    You've already made your mind up - so go for it

    Another case of someone deciding to do something then scouting for support....good wheels are always worth it. IMHO.

    It's more of a case is there something else out there that I may have overlooked for £200-250 or is it a total waste of money unfortunately I can't stretch to the RS80 C24 :(
