Been looking for some wheels around the 2 hundred smacker mark, preferably less but every time I settle on some I come across a Google where someone says the rims are chocolate, spokes bust or the hubs blew up after 10 miles:
Mavic Ksyrium Equipe – relying on the name, better available for the price.
RS20s – Suspicious half price special offer, some say bomb proof equally as many some say spokes are laced backwards and pop.
Easton EA50s – break a lot.
Roval Pave SL – light but bit pricy.
Ultegra Hubs / Mavic CXP33 – bit heavy at 2k+ & dated?
Kore Gradient – difficult to get parts.
Planet X model C etc – 10speed only, I need 9.
Xero Centauri XR-210 – light, expensive.
Would like something ideally 1700g mark give or take that I can both train and credit card tour on (80kg me plus 15kg max), that might see a bit of canal path. I could likley be way off in my choices.
Now I’m reading about how I should be looking at min 32/36 spokes?
Can anyone vouch for some of those or come up with suggestions?
