Wheel upgrade time
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2018 12:46 pm
Looking for a Xmas present for myself and figure a wheelset upgrade may do the trick.
Currently have the stock Merida - AlexRims Expert SL wheels.. thinking of getting something better.
Currently looking at (pricing $500-$630-$750):-
- Campagnolo Zonda C17's (cheaper Fulcrum Racing 3 alternate it seems) ~1598gm, aero spokes, cheapest, no tubeless
- Hunt Race Aero ~1439gm, aero spokes, tubeless ready, cheap
- Shimano WH-RS700, ~1550gm, aero spokes, tubeless ready, less cheap
Any thoughts on above or alternates i should check out?
Mainly do local riding alone or a few mates (distance 30-60km), with some climbs (trying to do these more) and not much group/faster rides at this stage hence thinking weight over deeper profile.
Not fussed on tubeless at this stage, but if it's there it won't hurt to try at some stage.
Cheers all
