Fulcrum Red Metal 10 vs Shimano MT 55 Wheelset

[Scott2luvit]

Hi Guys, I need some help, I need to buy a new wheelset on budget, I currently have a very entry level rim with centre lock disk brake, which of these two should I go for, the Fulcrum or Shimano?

I'd go shimano. Easy to service, and reports say that the RM's at the lowe end are a bit softer and less stiff than the competition.

 

Shimano is easy to service, reasonably strong (not going to win any awards at this price range though) and will last if you look after them.

Thanks, It makes sense, more lbs would be able to work on the Shimano

Got a set of MT 55's for my 26" hardtail 2 years ago. They have been bullet-proof. Highly recommended.
