I’m hunting for a bargain wheelset for a 120mm trail bike build. Looking for something middle of the road, don’t need superlight race wheels, but don’t want something full on downhill either. If it helps i’m 85kg, it’s a 120mm full suss and I generally ride trail centres/natural trails with a bit of AM, but nothing too mad, no drop offs more than a couple of feet.
Crossrides have cheap potential – but I think i’ll ruin them and the hubs get fairly naff reviews. Can’t stretch to hope hoops, and Shimano don’t really interest me as I don’t really have anywhere to do maintenance.
Anybody have Fulcrum wheels? I was eyeing up the RM5’s at about £170 or so but don’t think I can get a 15mm front for them, I notice they have released a new 2012 Red Power wheel which is 15mm and i’ve found them for about £160.
Superstar were the other thought but hunting around on here I see a few bad stories which put me off.
Cheers 🙂
