So, my winter road bike needs to be re-rimmed (so to speak). I use 105 (5600) hubs, which, like all Shimano hubs, are great.
Do I spend out on having these wheels re-done (in which case, any rim better than Open Sports?), or pick up some reasonably priced Aksiums or similar.
Thoughts?
I'd say get some planet x model b's cos they are light and cheap, then just bin em after winter.
105s plus Mavic Open Pros for me, on winter trainer and backup cross bike.
Ace - an even split between factory and re-doing my current wheels.
Any more?
I'd just put a cheap factory set on.
I've had two winters out of a set of Shimano rs10's and they still run smooth.
+1 for planet x model bs. I've been running mine for a year on my road bike which i rode through most of last winter (minus the snow) and they still spin great.
Cheers all.
