Hey all, I am in the market for some new wheels for my swobo sanchez...

The thing is, I want to spend less than $200.. Is it going to be feasible to say I will buy a solid pair for that price range? I have been looking around and I found these (http://flybikeshop.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=433) . What other options would I have to purchase? Thanks for the help.

i vote cxp22 to formula off of bicyclewheels.com
dp-18 to formula would work as well if you want colors or whatever.

Are the stock wheels toast? For $200 you probably won't get much of an upgrade, but the ones you linked to look fine. I had a set of the wheels ahand mentions and they worked well for me.

Yeah from the stock Sanchez wheels to those you're basically looking at just different colors.

My friend has a Sanchez and her wheelset is basically a Formula/Weinmann setup.

I had a set for a while, they were fairly heavy but tough as nails. I really liked the formula hubs as well. At one point after being locked out side all fall (it rain a ton) the nuts were rusted tight but the hubs still spun smooth as when I got them. New nuts and they were as good as new.

I have a set. Good deal for the money. One needed to be trued right out of the box.

You could get deep v's/fusion/aeroheads w/ formula hubs for less than $200. PM if you want the name of the person I bought my wheels off of on ebay.

My front is toast and I am using a wheel from my lemond. the sheer weight difference I can feel is making me look into replacing both with non-deep v style wheels...

Gotcha, I assumed it was an upgrade situation. Replacement is a different story, carry on.
