Looking at buying some fulcrum racing 5 wheels (2014 wheelset) and PBK seem to be the cheapest at £145. Not heard of them before so was wondering if they are any good in terms of service. Is there a cheaper alternative i may have missed?
They are much cheaper than anyone else and that has got me a bit paranoid that i am missing something here.

They are good whenever I've used them. I think they have 10% off wheels at the moment. Also they use to do a 10% off your first order. Not sure they still do that though.

Used them for a few things, including wheels. All good.

I've had wheels, forks and some other stuff from them. They were very helpful, if a little slow with emails, with a warranty return last year.

Good shop +1

But merlin have an extra discount on at the moment so should come out as £135 from them.

Julian those are for the 2013 versions, ones i have seen are for the 2014's which i think they reduced in weight ever so slightly.

In that case consider it £10 invested in better rotating weight. Pbk are a sound company, shop away i say! 😀
