New £400 disc wheels?

apreading

Those Coside not tubelss ready if that is your bag.

Seems to have less spokes too, so dont know about weight limits.

The do appear to have an offset rim, which could be good.

I'm very happy with mine. I'm doing a review, naturally, though it will be an early days one. We'll see how they last.

For £159 no brainer. Wipes the floor with whatever is out there.

For £308 harder. Better specced than the Cosine overall, tubeless adds value. Spokes may be better (though the Cosine are light so should at least be butted). Nicer hubs, possibly. Better bearings? No idea.

The better comparison might be the Kinesis. Similar weight.

In the end, for me it doesn't matter. I'd say that they are very good. Easily the best at £159. Probably the best at £300.

Any opinion on the Novatec disc alloy wheels

Novatec 30 disc for 345 EUR, does anyone have any information on them.

Or jetfly disc for 459EUR

The 30 has no information whatsoever.

The Jetfly has an internal width of 17mm, which is not in keeping with modern trends to go wider than this. Its also not cheap - for that price I would probably go handbuilt by someone in the UK with a good Rep.

bendertherobot

Yep. £300, get the Pro Lite. If you don't mind not subtle. If you can get the price matched, definitely get them.

If you can pay £350 or more, get some built.

bendertherobot

road.cc have a review of the Revo today. They seem impressed. I concur with them.

Been testing mine for 2 weeks now. Still absolutely true, good and stiff, comfy.

Superb at £159

FWIW just got a second pair at the "special" price.......

I'm also considering upgrading the PR-2 Disc wheelset on my Giant and getting something lighter. But I'm 60kg and outside the UK so can't get the Wiggle price match.

I'm thinking about the Cosines posted a bit further up, but also the Hunt Aero Light, which got a good review in RCUK but are a bit over my budget. Also I could have a set of almost-new (100 miles) Mavic Ksyrium Pro Disc including an Ultegra Cassette for around €500-550 which could be a good deal, but the review suggested them being rather harsh for lighter riders so I'm not sure. Don't have the possibility of test riding them.
Thoughts? I realise getting something built is also an option at that price but probably would end up being heavier than the ones above..?
Thanks

How long did Wiggle to take to come back to people on the price match? I submitted one first thing Thursday and have yet to hear back. I thought I saw a timeframe mentioned of 12-18 hours but could be wrong.

Did you use the form? You have to use the contact us form now and select all sorts of stuff on there. I did yesterday for some tyres. Took about 3 hours

Beatmaker

Cheers both. I used the form so perhaps its been lost in the ether. I'll try again tomorrow.

MikeBrew

Mine came back with a yes after only a few hours. (via the contact form mentioned by Bender)

Love these wheels btw.

As far as the "Extra" parts go : Did yours come with both through axles or only the rear 12mm TA and just the 15mm hub adapters for the front ?

bendertherobot

I'll check. There is 1 axle and some bits in a box. You get a 11spd spacer as well.

I received no extra parts at all - well ignoring the spacer.

bendertherobot

You were done

Seriously though, in both boxes (i.e. pairs of wheels) I had a nice little plastic box that contained a sealed spacer, a leaflet and this little lot.



I'm guessing that's the 12mm and 15mm adapters? And one axle. The rear? I dunno anything about this thru axle stuff.

Me neither...But that was pretty much what came wiv mine ...Thanks for the pic, I now know that I've not be "Done"
PS, They also came with Pro lite quick releases and QR adapters...

bendertherobot

Oh yeah, and all of those obviously!

(And haribo)

Been looking at Shimano xt rt76 brake rotors for these Pro Lite wheels... Are they suitable for a build on a Caad 10 ? Only, the wiggle listing for said rotors says MTB.. Any other road rotor suggestions gratefully received.

bendertherobot

I'm using the RT76 on my Bivio. Lovely rotors. And then there's the price. So cheap compared to other high end stuff.

bmxboy10

I prefer the rt86

ugo.santalucia

You are all trumped, as I have the RT 99! :-)

bendertherobot

They're all very lovely. But you can get the RT76 very cheaply indeed.

Same as mine, I don't bother with tiny sizes

Best not mention to the missus that they're actually nearer to 6 inches than to 8...


These https://www.evanscycles.com/aztec-stain ... nt=Product likely to be anygood ?

I am thinking 180 front, 160 rear.

probably terrible.
You can't choose the size, that is fixed, unless you do use adapters, which might not be ideal

MikeBrew

Well, I know that the standard showroom set up of 160/140 for this bike uses a +20mm adapter on the front. Presumably direct mount would be a tiny 140mm.
Standard rear is direct mount 140mm. I wanted to upgrade the braking a little though.
