Howdo
Im looking for a light weight wheelset for my trek 9.8(2005) hardtail,looked all over the net to the point my head nearly exploded with all the hype and bullsh$t and reviews that contradict/conflict themselves.My riding style on this bike is not hardcore hucking but more like long distance/adventure riding.
My budget at a push is £400,and i've short listed a few wheelsets,all of them come with mixed reviews.
1)second hand mavic crossmax sl's…good wheels but cant afford new ones
2)new FSA XC300 SL…nice and light but have weak nipple problems 😯 so im lead to belive.
3)FULCRUM RED METAL 3…good looking,light,very mavic like hubs and spokes,anybody using these at the moment??
4)SPINERGY XYCLONE DISC…nice looking and i must admit my favourite wheelset,pretty cheap from the U.S.A.But lack of U.K retailers for spares,and some issues with badly machined rear hub,and some bearing issues,but like i said before many reviews also rate them…anybody out there using them?i would like to hear your advice.
thank you for your time
