DONE with these rims! ugh
So I need some new rims. This is now the second event that I bent my front Alex DA22 rim (and about the 5th time its gone out of true in 400 miles). I was in a triathlon today heading for a big hill and I can hear it dragging the damn brake pad. I stopped and re-centered the brake a bit enough to keep the drag to a minimum, but thats IT.
However, I cannot afford big money wheels. Realize my "tri" bike cost me $500, I need some double duty wheels (training/racing) that aren't pieces of crap, and are worth maybe spending the $100 for those aero disc covers mentioned elsewhere in this forum. Either way I am DONE with Alexrims. I was looking at Fulcrum Racing 7 and maybe 5 if I can get a good deal. They look cool and might make it easier to identify my bike on a rack, and seem to have good reviews. Any experiences with them, or other suggestions?
