Am looking to upgrade the wheels on my Whyte Saxon Cross as I’ve stupidly got a place on the Three Peaks CX race.
My less than detailed research suggests that the Kinesis wheels are OK, Fatbirds have them for £233 Fatbirds – can’t seems to find them anywhere else online.
So is there anything better I should be looking at for up to £300? Have priced up some Stans Iron Cross rims with Hope hubs and built up they came to £440 which is a bit rich for me. Could down grade to XT hubs, but would like the bling…
On One have a load of Shimano MTB 29er wheel sets which look like the rims should be ok for narrower tyres, but the weight doesn’t look too good for most. So, any ideas/ suggestions?
I’m not too much of a biffer – 6’3″ and 85kgs.
