Road wheelset for R10K

[Veebee]

Anyone interested in a brand new set of Giant SLR 0 Carbon wheels - 30mm.

 

R12k from my LBS with tyres, it was taken off a 2016 TCR Adv 0

Mavic and American classic wheels because they use catridge bearings. Shimano and fulcrum is cup and cone bearings.

 

Apparently the Fulcrum racing 3 can be upgraded with these bearings:

Not quite sure how that works though.

I have AC 420's. Light, strong, smooth rolling, and rides beautifully. I prefer them over my SL's.

What about these? http://irwincycling.co.za/product/iaw-30/ Anyone know if they are any good?

I'm also looking at wheels for around R10k. I'm keen on the American Classic 420's

The hubs on the Irwins are excellent, from what I saw @ the expo, the 6*60 is crazy fast. I didnt know they do Allu wheels too, the hubs are the same across all the models so thats kwaai. Ill give Bryce a call in the morning

CRC has Ultegra wheels at R5000ish which look good:

I must admit I was pretty keen on the ceramic bearings on the Irwin's... so that puts them back in the picture... I'd all but decided on the AC's. Decisions... decisions... 

 

Let us know what you decide.

The bike shop trying to sell them to me. 

 

*Having googled the two it seems the bike shop in Claremont (Not my LBS) may have been telling porkies.

There is no way in hell they are remotely the same as 303's. 15mm diff in rim height, dimpled vs not, etc. That shop deserves a PK.

I normally avoid them like the plague, only to be forced to go in when they stock the certain products...

AC 420's - and the 2016 model looks good too.

How to the AC 420's stack up against the AC Argent?
