Looking to replace my CAAD10 wheel set And looking for some guidance. There seems to be a new wheel set post every day, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm maxing out at $500. Should I just save more money and keep what I have?

Depends on what improvements you are looking for.

I had Fulcrum 6 (stock) and replaced with PSIMET wheels. Big difference. Lighter, faster and cool-looking. They are not 500.00 That said the Fulcrums are adequate for everyday riding, and certainly tough. If I didn't have the cash for new wheels I would live with the Fulcrums as they're decent wheels.

I think you can get a set of Ultegra wheels for about that much. As for The question of improved or noticeable difference between the wheel set you have and a $500.....well, you probably won't feel much difference at all. But you could get a bit of a placebo effect and the new wheels will have a bit of the old bling factor as well.

As long as you have $500 burning a hole in your pocket I say do it....if it is a financial stretch for you then its not worth it at all.

For an extra $50: Boyd Vitesse

Do you race or do you just have $500 to burn?

This.

I'd say spend the extra $50 and get some Boyd Vitesse wheels or look hard for some Mavic Ksyrium Elites. I just picked up a pair over labor day on sale for $470 with a coupon.

I bought a set of Fulcrum 3's for less then $500

So you're just gloating? Makes you feel better? Wait, let me take a sip of my coffee......aaahhhhh.

You got a great deal, and I suppose patience is a virtue when scanning Ebay or CL or wherever you got them. But if there's a sale on for Fulcrum 3's at >$500, share them would you?

It's not per say burning a hole in my pocket, but I sure would like to spend it on my bike I'm looking to lose some weight from the current wheel set and maybe make climbing a little bit easier... If thats ever possible . Those Boyds look very nice! I might add the extra 50 and get those.

why dont you just keep those wheels and buy some really good tires? fulcrum 7s are pretty nice wheels for a stock set up. tah dah.....

apologies PBK had them a couple months ago.

New wheels won't make climbing any easier. Your legs will hurt just as much but you might get to the top a few seconds faster.

These come with tires and tubes.

I have the Fulcrum 7's also. Thinking of the Neuvation r28sl that come with a new SRAM cassette and chain for $399. 1510g. Decent reviews, hard to beat that price.

Chain Love has also been running them for that price lately

For that price, I'd spring for these: https://www.novemberbicycles.com/fsw-23/

Anyone have any opinions on these?

1467g! vs Fulcrum's 1850g. Why are they so cheap???

Lowest I've seen them is $536 but a good deal either way.

Crap theyre running a 2 day special with an extra 20% off! That makes them 329 shipped to my door. Anyone!?

Crap! I just paid over $600 for Velocitys! I think the hubs were better, but that's a great deal. I'd do the Boyd's or these. Both have the wider rim that gives a noticeably better ride. 23's work well with these rims, but 25's really smooth out the road, and don't slow you down any.

Think I'm going with November wheels. Thanks guys.

Crap... i cant make my mind up.

Well, so much for $500

These are on the way

Awesome dude. Don't think for one minute that our buying decisions are rational or logical in anyway.
