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.
how about some of the hope proIII on stans 355 rims? coming in at 1650g including rotors is pretty good, and come with outstanding hope service.
What about the hope hoops with the pro 3 hubs and 355 rims. A friend has them and they are silly light and seem pretty tough as well.
and there's a Hope group buy going on right now!
