Not even sure if I need this--Mavic Aksiums
mavic aksiums on sale right now..$124.85 on b-town.
I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post this..if not, i guess someone can delete it. I figured someone may be interested.
I want to buy them too..just because they seem like a good deal. I hope someone snatches them.

I don't want Aksiums.... but I do need another set of winter training wheels. The price fits the need, so I shall keep my eyes open for it.

I saw them today also. Would have purchased them if they had a Campy hub. (Shoulda bought the Campys back when they were $135.00 and had a few Campys left.) Don't really need them, but I'd like something cheaper to use on the trainer and for winter rides.

I needed an inexpensive set of wheels and considered the Aksiums but got a pair of Performance Forte's on sale, roughly the same price. They are reasonable and if your budget is under $150 should be on your short list. Watch for sales and/or coupons. I think I ended up paying roughly $130 for the pair.

Nope, it isn't. The Aksiums are very good, under-rated training wheels. I have a pair I use, and picked up another pair off BT for $149 a few weeks ago.

To be perfectly honest, I don't get this type of online shopping. You have to sit and wait for them to post a single item at a time? Why even have a cart option?
