LlewellynFourie Posted December 18, 2012 Share I recently bought a 29er (at last). It is a Scott Scale 940 (2013). It has A combo wheelset of:Hubs - SyncrosSpokes - DT SwissRim - Alexrims I want to upgrade to a lighter wheelset for racing. My bike weight is 12 kg (large) at the moment. Will I shead some weight or must I cont my current wheelset? I Have R5000 to spend. Which wheelset should I go for? Looking at brands like fulcrum, easton or Shimano XT.

Azonic Posted December 18, 2012 Share American Classic all the way for me. The non-Race version is under R5000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shade Posted December 18, 2012 Share 1754gr ? That's a heavy build, can get it down to 1500gr with Agogo hubs and other spokes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LlewellynFourie Posted December 18, 2012 Share Thanx for the speedy reply Don't have that kind of money now. Will save up. Whats your view on a XT wheelset? They look tough and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LlewellynFourie Posted December 18, 2012 Share As do the easton and fulcrum sets. I'm not clued up with custom sets? The reason I want a factory fitted wheelset is cause I stay in the bundus and can't get to the big city so regularly. My local bike shop can get Shimano wheels and the parts needed if they break. I weigh 71kg, so i'm sure it will be tough enough for me. Edited December 18, 2012 by LlewellynFourie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT2jp Posted December 18, 2012 Share 1754gr ? That's a heavy build, can get it down to 1500gr with Agogo hubs and other spokes ! Weight vs reliability... Hope Hubs are unmatched ito performance and reliability (only by Chris King imo - very pricey); The Stans Crest/ Arch rims are top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
