Buying Quality Road Wheels

[Wez-O]

Hey Hubbers,

So it appears I'm in the market for new road clinches.

 

Looking for around 30mm depth and the sub R30k price range...

 

Some potential candidates thus far:

- Campagnolo Boro One 35mm (1,350g/set)

 

- Fulcrum Racing Zero Carbon 30mm (1,358g)

 

- Corima VivaS Carbon Clinchers 33mm (1,400g)

Others?

Campagnolo!!!

 

 

Have a look at Tokens 

Out of interest, what would a decent price for both of the above be?

Chat to Warren, i'm sure he will do you a deal on the Tokens. My guess is around R21k.

I bought a set last year and I'm very happy with them. Also enjoyed great service from Warren. I see the RoadCover guys are also on Tokens now.

Tokens not as wide as Campy if you are wanting a wider rim...

Price I have been quoted for Bora One 35 is R28500-00. Might get it cheaper if you shop around

I bought a pair of Fulcrum Racing Zero wheels in December. Fantastic wheel set @ around R 20 k

just to add, the service and after-sales support from Warren at Token is top notch.

Please consider the Dark Horse wheels too.  I'm very happy with my set.  Good service from them too!

[Warren Foyn]

Just wanted to thank you guys for the positive referrals above, on both the wheels and the service, I really appreciate it.

I must be honest, for value for money, these do look a good bet. Its difficult to justify paying and extra R8k (on the undeniably brilliant) Campy Boro Ones when the Fulcrums are from the same factory (apparently).

 

The Tokens have nothing but rave reviews, but are a touch understated looks wise.
