The new Lemond Fillmore comes with a Bontrager Select Track rear wheel. This is a fixed gear wheel.

I dig the look of the reduced spoke wheels and Bontrager seems to make quality components.

Anyone own one? Anyone know what they cost and if they can be ordered separately? Seems like a good rear wheel if you're looking for a nice wheelset.

ive got those wheels on my road bike.. so not the fixed version.. but i love them on the road bike.. im sure they feel the same.. i gotta admit.. im a fan of that lamond bike.. and i really like bontrager parts.. i know.. this doesnt help much.. but oh well.. did you check the bontrager site?

i just looked on the bontrager site and they dont have anythign about track stuff.. thats a "track" crank also.. but that could also just mean a bontrager crank with one chainring..

Chup. They don't have the track wheel listed.

I don't need a new wheel or anything, just dreaming. Can't afford one now anyway.

I dig Lemonds too. My (geared) road bike is a Lemond and it feels great to me. No complaints.

i swear I've seen those wheels on the bontrager site.
they're like $500 for the set or something

The track setup is that much? I'm looking for some for a new bike. I just posted a new thread asking the same question, I might check those out.

dammit i can't find anything about them anymore.
but I swear Bontrager released several track specific wheelsets recently. one of which, i thnk was the race X lights for around $500.
or I could just be making this up.

Those are nice looking.

Yes, they are quite nice. Can you get them in tubular forn?

They look pretty round to me already. Sheesh.

I mean, can you get them as a tubular set? Or maybe I'm asking in the wrong context.

and they're national champs, too:

While the first site doesn't list them as tubs or clinchers, the Race X Lite road wheels are listed on the Bontrager site as either clinchers or tubs and I would expect a champion-class wheel has to be available as a tubular.

When I put my Fillmore together last fall, one of surprising things was how out of true these wheels were out of the box. My guess is that they are machine built but are the exact same wheels as the road select just the rear hub is fixed/free. Since then I have pulled up the tension on the spokes a couple of times to stiffen them up but overall they are good starter set of wheels. Lately, they are collecting dust since I built up a pair of Phil High Flanges with CXP 33's, black on black. I noticed the difference in stiffness right off the bat.

I have one. This is my first road bike so I left it as a single for the first 200 or so miles. This past weekend I just flipped it to fixed. Fun ride. I'm a bit surprised though, it sounds like my hub bearings have already gone bad....they make more noise and it gets a bit annoying.

Have a set of road wheels on my Poprad that are Selects. Nothing worth drooling over. Will need some TLC at first as noted above, but then seems fine. Just a good normal set of wheels, fine for everday use but not real fast. I just use them for training and for pit wheels. No complaints.
