[Closed] Too good to be true? Roadie wheel content

gringo · 2015-01-02T17:24:02Z

I'm in the market for some new wheels for my road bike, a Cannondale CAAD8. It's currently running the wheels that it came with - Maddux RS3.0's which I understand are pretty basic although they seem to have stayed true with my 95kg of lard on it. They really really flex though, leaning the bike over through a corner will have the rims rubbing on the brake pads as does out of the saddle sprinting. I'm looking for something reliable and stiff for all year round general riding.. I got an email from CRC today which contained [url- they seem like a complete bargain to me but I can't help but wonder why they are so reduced and have no reviews. Does anyone have any experience of these? Cheers Glenn

Seems heavy, househusband. I just built a set of 771/2 hubs with Pacenti SL25 rims, 32 d-lights 3x, and brass nips, and they came in at 1700 on the nose.

These are back in at CRC but now at £359.99.

I got a pair when they were at £199.99 and are waiting for me in Spain.

I've sourced some very positive long term reviews since I read all of the negative ranting.

Maybe the £199.99 price was an error by CRC, only time will tell but I do hope so.
