Shimano R600 Road Wheelset Are these good commuting wheels?
Nashbar has these for a good deal right now, and I thought it may be good to upgrade. Here are the specs:
The Ultegra level wheel is fianlly back for 10speed. The Shimano R600 wheelset is a great all arounder that works well as an everyday wheelset or an extra aero wheelset for the amateur racer. 771g front and 959g rear. 10-speed Shimano only compatibility.
Front: 16 spokes
Rear: 20 spokes
Aluminum Freehub Body
Stainless bladed spokes
Skewers included
My questions for the bike experts are:
will this work with a 9 speed brifter, or will I have to upgrade the brifter and cassette?
Will this support my weight I'm about 190
Will they last longer than the bontrager race wheels. I currently have a new pair. (They lasted about 5,000 miles)
Thanks for the help.
