Which new wheels

old codger

I'm after some lighter wheels than my present Roval's,what would be a good choice buy.I would like carbon but i cant justify the price,unless there are some good bargains out there.The wheels dont have to be super strong as they will never go off road,in fact thats what the Rovals will be used for.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Stans Crest with Hope hubs or Hope Tech XC wheels should do the job. Both are reasonably light for their price and Hope hubs are reliable and easy to service.

poah

budget

Budget,i dont mind ,within reason as this is turning out to be my new road bike based purely on comfort so i am trying to cut down on weight.Chainset will be next as i have a Truevativ on at the moment which weighs a ton.

poah

wheel size?

One person's 'within reason' is another's 'HOW MUCH'......the two options mentioned above are both very good, you could also look at lightbicycles carbon rim options.
