I have an aging PlanetX Carbon Pro bike – 7 years old or so with the original wheels.

Looking at Merlin for want of of better place would I benefit from a £100 ish pair of wheels.

Something like Shimano RS11, RS21, or pushing the boat out to RS330.

I think you might need to spend a little more to get something better – £100 is more straight replacement, for a pair. I’d look £300 ish – decent handbuilts or Hunt 4Seasons for a pre built wheelset.

£75 with Code MAYMAD25. Dropped 300g compared to R500 wheels which came with new road bike.

2 rides in and they seem fine. Limited colours left.

Yeah, I’d spend a bit more than £100.

Campagnolo Zondas can be had for reasonable prices at times, and are fairly lightweight and stiff.

thanks all,

yeah I think you are right.
It will be worth it I am sure.

Fulcrum Racing quattro’s – “slightly” over budget at circa £160 though.

Really have transformed my bike compared with what I had previously.

I got Fulcrum racing 7 with tyres and tubes for £160. They work.

I would draw your attention to these

Campagnolos from Wiggle.

At the pricepoint you’re talking, and very stiff. I have been using them all winter, and been extremely pleased.

Good to know as I just ordered a pair for my bike: the rims are more or less done and the hubs, having seen three sets of rims to date, are now feeling a bit graunchy. They’ve arrived but I’m off the bike for another four weeks due to a minor op on my foot. Price alert, don’t read on if you don’t want to see the new price but they are currently £120 at CRC with a further £10 of using the code MID2016.

I have a pair of Shimano RS81 C24 with Schwalbe Ultremo 25mm tyres you can have for £225.
They have only had about half a dozen rides.
These;
RS81

Check out Wiggle’s alloy Cosine wheels. I very much like the tubeless 32mm ones I have.

Good price, I got mine from LBS so was happy to pay a bit more as they made the effort sell them to me

Hmmm a post answering a question no one asked… Well done.

Had r11’s on my new road bike. Said had as they were swapped once it was home. Lead wheels anyone?
