rory21 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Are these wheels worth the money? I heard they had a recall?
turtlek Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 if you have the cash and dont mind the possible catastrophic results when breaking a spoke then yea go for it!!!
Jules Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 You'll hear many different opinions. Mine is "no". I'll justify: I think those spokes are ridiculous. They are obviously not aero. A pair of deep sections are much better suited to the type of cycling we do in SA. I think the only type of race in which these wheels might have an advantage is a hillclimb of 10% gradient or more. And even then it's debatable. Also, think of what the cost will be if you break a spoke in a few years time?
rory21 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 So a brand new pair of Ksyrium SL would be a better idea than a second hand pair of R Sys?
turtlek Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 So a brand new pair of Ksyrium SL would be a better idea than a second hand pair of R Sys? A brand new set of easton EA90sl will be ten times better just because you wont have issues with spokes and nipples binding and they are easy to replace if you break one
RABUBI Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I was also looking at these wheels, ave price is about R10k. I instead bought myself a pair of Easton EA90 Aero alu clinchers. Weight wise there is 200g difference, but I paid R4.5k for the Eastons, and they are bullet proof wheels, so I am happy.
Old school Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Have brand new set of Easton ORRION2 For R5800.
