Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I like the Mavic Aksiums, nice tough wheel that should be able to hold up to cross riding. only problem would be a broken spoke...Maybe look into some ultegra/open pro's. Just a thought.

I think he's looking for road specific wheels to ride his cross bike on the road?

Do you have a budget?

thanks for the response, JonnyV. i'll definitely look into those. but yes, ptle, im looking for some road bike tires to put on the cyclocross. i figure that it will be cheaper and my bike is a pretty decent one, so no need to buy a completely new road bike. in terms of budget, will i be able to get a good set for 200-300? ive looked a bit on ebay...are wheels something that are safe to buy off ebay?
