GhostRider2 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 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?
RTG7 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 for me - the best value to performance set of wheels, training and or racing are the American Classic CR420.

GhostRider2 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 Anybody else? Anyone got those Shimano's?
Let's Ride Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Budget bru? Check out the Darkhorse wheels thread. Not that strong I hear...
GhostRider2 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Not that strong I hear... I prefer something with a track record. To me, these are no-name-brand. Edited October 11, 2012 by GhostRider2

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
