Carbon tubbies vs decent clinchers?

DuPs posted a topic in Technical Q&A

Hi guys, Advise please. I recently bought my wife a secondhand road bike, that fit our budget. The bike was fitted with an old set of carbon Bontrager wheels with gatorskin tubbies on. A cycle shop in Stellenbosch gave them a decent service, replaced two bearings, and noted that they're 100% apart from that. The tubbies are at the end of their life. Off course I took the wheels and put them on my road bike. Not knowing tubbies for road (I'm more of a mountain biker, recently venturing into triathlons) I'm a bit sceptical to use them, seeing as you cannot quickly fix a tire, should the need arise. Also, I don't want to permanently cycle around with a spare tubby at R1000 a pop in my rear pocket. I see my options as the following: 1. Sell/trade the wheels for a decent set of clinchers. 2. Replace the tubbies (R2000) and get continue riding with them. 3. Replace the tubbies, get a cheap set of exercise wheels, and keep the tubbies as race wheels. Option 3 looks like a bit of a schlep, as I'll have to replace brake pads for races as well. Will also be the priciest option. So, which option would you say is best? And if I go for option 1, do you have any idea of what they'll be worth? Bad image of the wheels, I know.

I'm playing with the idea of building a set of carbon wheels for my 29er using my existing HOPE PRO EVO2 hubs, looking for recommendations on which hoops to look for.

I was browsing the internet, when I came accross this: "700C 23mm Width 60mm depth Clincher Carbon bicycle wheels Road Bike"3 A "used" Road Carbon wheelset for the equivalent of R278.84! And quite a few other ads of R400, R500,R600. All seem to be used, but there were a few "new" ones for R600. It includes free shipping to SA, and even with taxes and import duties, that'll still be cheap for wall ornaments... http://www.ebay.com/itm/700C-23mm-Width-60mm-depth-Clincher-Carbon-bicycle-wheels-Road-Bike-e/201745131464?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131227121020%26meid%3Dca44ac9c98c94602b3023b1458fab459%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D182386405101 Is this a scam on Ebay, or legitimate? I mean, I'll pay that for wall ornaments, so it can't do much harm in ordering a set... Need some hub guidance please...
I need help - Road Wheelset

Cycling Major posted a topic in Buyer’s Advice

Hello everyone So I have finally decided to let go of my deep section tubbies and go back to clinchers. The choice has been made and I am ready to place my order for some great looking carbon wheels. This is the problem I now have. With the wide range of choices available, I cannot seem to make up my mind as to what wheels will look the best with my bike (from China so its only about the looks). I have brought the selections down between the following wheels but now I need the input from my fellow hubbers. * FFWD (not sure if it will be too red) * Easton * Dura Ace C50 * Campy Bora Please note which you think will look the best... I have also added a photo of my bike. Thanks in advance

Hey Hubbers So, I am looking in buy a pair of OEM wheels but I have had very little experience with bringing in such a product. My biggest worries are tax and not receiving my product. Has anyone bought from Alibaba before? or is there a safer and faster website? I dont feel like waiting 6+ months for a product either! Thanks guys!
