Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Newbie looking to Upgrade Wheelset on my Fuji Feather Single Speed

I'm a roadie and have been riding my Fuji SST 1.0 for the past year.. so I'm retty new to the whole world of Single Speed's and Fixed Speed Bikes and I love it so far. I purchased my fuji feather around 2 months ago and it's a single speed.
The wheels on it pretty much suck (Too heavy and I want a skewer instead), so I was wondering what kind of wheels you all would suggest for an upgrade and where to get a pair? Websites?

Here's what she looks like right now..

I've already scoured craigslist, but to no luck. :(

Thanks!

Stop trolling.

It's called an Aerospoke.

It's not cool.

yes, aerospokes will solve this

If you want a quick release front wheel then you will probably need to buy the front and rear separately

You should be more concerned with fixing your jackass bar angle.

Like I said, I'm new to all of this. I most likely won't go with the "aerospoke" then, can anyone recommend me a light weight, decently priced wheel set?

It's alright, we all were at some time.

But really, level out your handlebars. The flat portion(when looking from the side) should be level to the ground.

What do you consider decently priced?

That's an old pic. THey're level now. ;)

300-500$

Thanks!

For that price range, you can have a very nice custom wheelset built for you, or you have a huge number of options from velomine.

Dual first-generation Spinergys FTW.

You can built pretty much anything for 500 bucks.

I still don't believe this is real.

Thanks again everyone for the input and suggestions.

I was looking at these as a possible option, but I had another question... Do I have to get a wheel set with sealed bearings? Or can it be a set without? or one with a different setup

You didn't link to whatever you were looking at. And you can get whatever bearings you feel like, sealed or not. And whats 'one with a different setup'?

I still don't believe this is real.

My bad, would these work out pretty well?

Holy boat anchors. Thats insane.

http://www.wabicycles.com/GXwheels.html - The pair of these is only a little heavier than the weight of the the rear velocity/phil alone. And they're really well priced.

I am now convinced.

oh dumb, nm. ignore me.

aside from a moment of stupidity, bicyclewheels.com offers some wheelsets as well as velomine.

I'm assuming that it has to be a "sealed bearing" wheel set of course. But regardless, I'll keep looking around and do some searching. Would like to keep it as close to 300$ as possible anyways. But thanks so much for the link to velomine, I really like the website and will be getting my parts from them.

Just found these..
Any opinions? Looks like a pretty solid wheel.

I might end up grab those! Thank you!


Sucks that they're all out of white though. :(
Will just have to go with black. heh.

So just one more bump, looking to go and snag these today.. in white

They should work out fine on my fuji, right? Just don't want to buy the wrong type of wheelset. :P

Those are not your best option. You run front and rear brakes, so you should get a wheel with machined brake tracks. Fortunately for you, this wheelset (http://www.velomine.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87_172_173&products_id=555) is available, better for your application, and $5 cheaper.

^ Sold out.

Sucks to suck.

Looks like I'll have to keep searching around. I'll try searching some LBS's in the area today. But I really appreciate all the help from you guys.

Thanks again.
