I have the Vuelta XRPs on my Kilo TT, I think they are better than the stock Kilo TT wheels, I prefer the low flange look and I'd ridden them on my conversion for a while and trusted them so kept them for the TT. I did switch out to a Dura Ace lockring and cog.
I've been looking for an excuse to buy a new wheelset instead of the Vueltas but I really can't find one. 2 thumbs up from the Scotsman! |
i've been having a set for about 1 year now, no complaints
like them better than the formula deep v's |
cool thanks you guys!

are they lighter than velocity deep vs?

the teams are definitely worth the extra $40 |
you know i am really confused
if you're a roadie, for 200 bucks you can get a bombproof awesome 1750g wheelset. So why the hell are these 2,100g ?!? |
yeah, you can buy a fully geared rig for less than what most people spend blinging our their FG.
a rear road hub is not that much more technically superior than a rear track, though, and $160 shipped vs. $200 + shipping is still a bit of a difference |

They're just more commercialized and therefore the supply is greater, it just annoying anyway. |
