Hey everyone,
Yes, I have used the search function. I have gathered quite a lot of information, but I'd like some help deciphering and interpreting it. I'm looking for a low-profile wheelset that is as light as possible. However, I'm only looking to spend around $200 (definitely not more than $250) for the wheelset. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=1#post9784376 |

Oh, that Forte wheel looks pretty cool. How long have you had it? Can you comment on its quality, etc?
Thanks! |
I wouldn't worry about the XR-200 if you're building them with a high spoke count. http://fairwheelbikes.com/kinlin-xr2...im-p-1214.html
However, if you are worried about their durability the XR-270 is more durable and still very light (mine were only a few grams more than open pros). http://fairwheelbikes.com/kinlin-xr2...im-p-1215.html |
The titans are pretty nice, especially for the price. I prefer wheels without proprietary anything, but I used to work for Performance and if one of their house brand products break you can usually just bring it in and get a new one, even without a receipt.

Awesome, thanks for the replies everyone! Now that I've learned so much about the different wheelsets available, I feel confident that I can make an informed decision.
As much as I would like to buy super light rims and double butted spokes and go all-out on a really nice, superlight wheel, my budget still takes precedence over my inner weight weenie whisperings. I decided to stick with the Mavic CXP22's, but only because it's a cheap wheelset; I have to remind myself that I'm not going for a premium build. Nevertheless, I really learned a lot about wheelsets over the past few days and I really appreciate all your guys' help! :thumb: |
