Daantjiedonner Posted March 19, 2009 Share I am riding with Ksyrium ES wheels .I want to buy some new wheels to treat myself. If I buy new wheels it dont matter what it cost as long as I can feel the difference.I want a very light wheel to help me on the climbs,but on the flats it must also roll nicely.I dont want tubbies because I am far away from help and cycle a lot alone. I want to practice and race with the same wheels.I wegh 65 kg.Can you please give me some advice to help me as I dont want to spend my money wrongly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted March 19, 2009 Share Go for Lightweights or Lew Racing wheels. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veloce Posted March 19, 2009 Share PM Johan Bornman. He can build you up a set for 1/10th the cost of factory wheels and you can drive a car over them. Otherwise go for HED stingers. Check out their website. They have the right philosophy, they WANT you to train with their wheels and race with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted March 19, 2009 Share Welcome to the Hub.....I also don't race with tubbies.......clinchers are the BEST! Depending what your budget is..... First off.....the Bees Knees.....: DT Swiss makes a nice full carbon clincher. Light, strong, works in the mountains. Similar to Campy Hyperon or Fulcrums....but they are expensive! R25 000 + a set.If budget is not an option, get Lightweights. R35-40 000 a pair. Budget constraints will have you looking at Campy Shamal/Euros which are stunning wheels.FulcrumMavic Cosmic Carbon SLRZipp 404Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanieFiets Posted March 19, 2009 Share hey, spidey. why is the Hyperon so much more expensive than the shamal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted March 20, 2009 Share hey' date=' spidey. why is the Hyperon so much more expensive than the shamal? [/quote'] Hyperon = Full carbon clincherShamal = Alu With a rough guestimate I think the weight saving is about 200g..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Daantjie Since cost is not an issue, don't you want to buy me a new set also? Mine is due for replacement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
