Currently have Mavic Ksyriums on.Also would like to do a poll once some suggestions come in... So, what would you suggest? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted September 29, 2011 Share Wat hills you planning to use them on / events or races? The hills in Gauteng are different from Cape Town or Mpumalanga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuctionLamb Posted September 29, 2011 Share You will not get better/lighter climbing wheels than the Easton EA90 SLX Carbon tubbies! They pure climbing wheels and weigh about 1080grams for the set. I have a pair to sell if you interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayboy Posted September 29, 2011 Share AuctionLamb, You must have meant EC 90 SLX, cos EA90SLX weight is 1398grams as per the Easton web site even so the EC90SLX weight is not even that stated by you they weigh 1175grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Hi Zac.A The Mavic Ksyriums is amongst the lighest clincer wheels that you can buy, the Brontager and Easton wheels are not lighter. Think you will be wasting your money to replace Ksyriums with similar weight clincer wheels, the obvious choise to loose weight is tubbies, think you can lose about 200gram on some tubbies, but they have their own problems, if you get a flat your race is over.... Consider putting tubeless tyres on the Ksyriums, I did, their are lighter than normal tyres (without the tubes in any case) and their don't go flat easily when punctured, the ride quality is on par with tubbies. Go to www.probikekit.com if you are interested in road tubeless tyres, Look at the Hutchinson Atom or Fusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac.A Posted September 29, 2011 Share I reckon those lightweights are around R20k? I was told that I wasn't allowed to use my deep sections at the upcoming youth festival, so I was just seeing what options there were.I had a feeling it would be hard to lose weight on the ksyriums without doing anything drastic or having to sell the deep sections and the power meter. Thanks for the advice though.I'll stick with the ksyriums for now though Edit: R29k for the pair, R35k with ceramic bearings.
