Cippo Posted October 26, 2013 Share Which models and your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maantjie Posted October 26, 2013 Share I have a budget of 2k/2.5k and need to know if Fulcrum Racing 3 are any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted October 26, 2013 Share Best bet at that price new would be to go for some Mavic Aksiums. I had a pair on my old bike and used them for two years with no issues. CWC has them for R2999 including new tyres just to give you a price indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted October 26, 2013 Share Evobikes has a set without tyres for R2.5khttp://www.evobikes.co.za/wheels/wheelsets-road/mavic-aksium-race-wheel-set.html CWC link,http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/mavic-aksium-wheelset-2013 Kysiriums and Fulcrum 3's are a bit more than 2.5k new unless you buying secondhand. Fulcrum's are a sub brand of Campagnolo. As to their reliability I can't say. http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/mavic-ksyrium-equipe-wheelset?quicktabs_1=1#quicktabs-1 http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/fulcrum-racing-3-2-way-wheelset?quicktabs_1=1#quicktabs-1 Edited October 26, 2013 by Cippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maantjie Posted October 26, 2013 Share Thanks, I am buying secondhand and that was the price range I got for all sets of wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadude Posted October 27, 2013 Share Racing 3's are fantastic wheels, but you wont get new ones for 2.5K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maantjie Posted October 27, 2013 Share Thanks javadude, I can get a set for 2K secondhand that's still in good condition as the seller says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
