Im looking at some new summer bike. I'll use them for just general road riding I weigh about 105kg.

Or am I best saving for a bit longer and getting some thing with more spokes.

    According to the tech info in the link these have 28 spokes front and rear. That is a relatively high count for off-the-shelf wheelsets these days. You'd struggle to find factory made wheels with higher counts (say 32 or 36). At 105kg you will probably be fine on 28 spoke wheels although if you can save a bit more then handbuilt wheels with 32 spokes would be a much safer bet.

    Malcom at Cycleclinic could do you a 32/32 Borg22 wheelset with Miche hubs for £305
