A friend rides Aksiums, he's lighter than me but they don't seem to have caused him any problems. They're very reasonably priced as well at £108 for a rear wheel. Don't know how it will look having an Aksium rear wheel and a stock Alex ACE-19 on the front but I can always get the front wheel later if it looks awful.
