recommend wheels to climb, under U$700

camilorosso

Good day, i have a Giant TCR Advanced, my weight 110kg, i need change my wheels, but i read that there are wheels that are not good for climbing, that are better for planning, like knowing which ones to climb.

thanks for your comments

Usually climbing wheels are light and stiff rather than aero - but you need strong over light. I'd not go for any special climbing wheels.

might get more replies if the "Buying Advice " page, but I have same bike as you and just swapped the stock PR2 wheels for these cer0 AR24 wheels, they are very light, get great reviews, and what's more, a steal at the current price of £189

the reviews comment that :-

The AR24s are hand assembled in Taiwan for UK distributor/retailer Cycle Division, and are recommended for sub-100kg riders to avoid the inherent issues when heavy riders use lightweight, low spoke-count wheels, particularly on UK 'roads'.

Sorry bud at your weight I wouldnt be looking at light weight wheels unless you are willing to spend £££s .. if you can drop 20kg you will have a lot more options .. and hills will be easier

Ditto that, and lose weight. That will have far far greater effect than buying some fancy wheels.

Kind of already has a thread here.
