Looking for inexpensive wheelset
Im looking for an inexpensive wheelset. Currently I have a stock Mavic CPX22 front wheel and a cheap (unbranded) rear. My rear wheel was stolen, so I temporarily replaced it with a cheapie, which has to be trued now. It cost me $70 for new, so instead of trying it I might just as well replace it.
So I'm looking at the Vuelta Race Lite or a Mavic Aksium -type of price range. Also I really like Fulcrum racing 7, looks awesome. Any suggestions would be welcome! |
Neuvation, Fuzion Wheels...

M28X. But, how much do you weigh? How strong are you? 16/20 spoke wheels simply aren't going to last for bigger, stronger riders. |
this looks like an opportunity to get something decent. a custom built wheel w/ alchemy hubs, kinlin rims and cx ray spokes will cost under $700 and weigh under 1300grams. and in all likelihood be stronger and lighter than pretty much any other wheel in a similar price range. just a thought.

I'm 197lbs, so I need something that will last long

Well I was just looking at some of the Neuvation reviews for M28X Aero, and they seemed to be handling the weight very well.

Then I retract the Neuvation recommendation.
FWIW, the front wheel will be fine for him. At $80, it's hard to beat. |
Well I'm thinking to keep the CXP22 that I have on the front, and just replace the rear. I usually ride on the road, but hit the occasional pot hole. The Mavic that I have now still holds well though.
|
Any thoughts on the Fulcrum 7's or the Vuelta's?
|
i have no personal experience with riding them, but i picked up a set of axiums for a family member and they seemed like pretty solid wheels.

Two good deals for under $500 :thumb:
The Corsa Lite features a 27mm medium V 6066 aluminum sleeved clincher rim with CNC-machined sidewalls. 20 front and 24 rear triple-butted 2.2mm stainless steel aero spokes with alloy nipples are radial laced in the front and 2 cross rear. The Corsa Lite is rounded out with a pair of Vuelta hubs that feature Japanese-made EZO cartridge bearings. QR skewers included. Choose Shimano or Campagnolo freehub body.

Vuelta's new Team V Red straight pull design hubs with Japanese made EZO sealed cartridge bearings complete the build with style. Choose between Shimano or Campagnolo freehub bodies. 700c. Wt.: 1477g. $479 http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...1_10000_200469 http://www.nashbar.com/images/nashba...V-NCL-PAIR.jpg |
Why not just get a CXP 22 built to match on a 105 hub? Strong & it will match the front.
|
Well it seems like the Vuelta or Fulcrum will be better for the same price range.
|
I'm 205 lb on Neuvation M28 AERO3s, 16/20 spoke count with no problems, I'm no pro but not a weenie either, great wheels for the money.
