GhostRider2 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Hey hubbers .... Looking at replacing my road wheels. The Shimano DA 7900 C24 look awsome but pricey. The RS80 C24's seem the be the same wthout the DA hubs, and a few thousand ronts cheaper. These will not be my race wheels or my training wheels. They will be my only wheels. Any advice on these or others? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/121754-help-me-buy-new-road-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider2 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Budget bru? Check out the Darkhorse wheels thread. I'm looking for solid, serviceable wheels that will last me years. Happy to spend R4-R5k. I'll spend more if it's something really worth the extra $$$.

GhostRider2 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Not that strong I hear... I prefer something with a track record. To me, these are no-name-brand.

Falco Posted October 11, 2012 Share Hey hubbers .... Looking at replacing my road wheels. The Shimano DA 7900 C24 look awsome but pricey. The RS80 C24's seem the be the same wthout the DA hubs, and a few thousand ronts cheaper. These will not be my race wheels or my training wheels. They will be my only wheels. Any advice on these or others? I've been using RS80's for about 18 months, zero problems, fantastic wheel imo.Only difference between them and the DA is the hub (and the price).If money's no object, get the DA. If you want a great set of wheels for a fair price, you won't go wrong with the RS80's Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/121754-help-me-buy-new-road-wheels/#findComment-1809199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
