I'm looking for a replacement front wheel for my second bike. This doesn't have to be the greatest.
I've seen the following NEW items that have caught my eye.
Ritchey Pro DS SE Front $93 with shipping
Mavic Cosmos front $85 with shipping.
Both seem like excellent deals. The Ritchey looks much lighter at 680g...
Since it's a FRONT wheel, it should hold up to a heavier rider... though we would see at the next pot hole!
I have a set of Ksyrium Elites for my main bike, Plus a SSL for special occations. My second bike has ALEXRIMS DA28's on Tiagra hubs. I suppose I was thinking that if I mixed the SSL's with the elite on the main bike(though the Ritchey is lighter), that I could put the rear elite on the second bike and couple it with the Ritchey or Cosmos front. This other bike would be used mostly for Commutes, Winter rides, as a loner to a friend, and as a trainer.
Any thoughts why these are so cheap? Either way, it's bound to be an upgrade from Tiagra.
