hagar Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I have just bought a set of these wheels for my bike. Now being on the 93 kg mark and having read the thread below i am a bit worried that I should not have bought them. Is there any of you " heavies " out there that can put my mind at ease. ok ok I am trying to loose a few ks too http://www.roadbikereview.com/cat/wheels/wheelsets/mavic-inc/PRD_112040_2490crx.aspx
TitusTi Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 DON'T BUY THESE BLOODY THINGS, TAKE THEM BACK AND GET A SET OF EASTON'S INSTEAD!
Mudsimus Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 If you bought it from a bike shop take it back and start K*king them out before they can say anything. Then get yourself the eastons. I rode the Ksyrium elite's. They do flex quite alot, and I only weigh 69kg's.
hagar Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Hagar. I think they will be OK. Just dont stand. thanks Spidey i will try not to stand
pererace70 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I agree with Titus and MudDee; I have a set of Ksyrium Equipes and Easton Vista SL's The Eastons are a much nicer wheelset.
Wheelsuck Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Ksyrium Elites flex when I stand and I weigh 74 kgs, that being said they do not go out of true, agree Eastons the way to go and I hear Fulcrums are quite ridgid as well.
gasant112 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Agree ...I have the Mavic Elites and what a set of K@K !!!!!!!!!! wheels !!! Agree TitusT ....I was looking a the Eston Circuits..
Man with no name Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I dont have that problem, weigh 76? Was Jock Green's old wheels, so if any wheel should flex it should be these?
bikemonster Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 The Ksyrium Equipe and Ksyrium Elite are very different wheels. The Equipe is just an extremely cheeky bit of brand extension.
Wheelsuck Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 MWNN, the mechanics of riding play a role, you will get small guys flexing a wheel and heavier okes not having a problem. The issue is that some okes flex the wheels, I had a set of Shimanos and I flexed them like pancakes and they guy who I gave it to is much taller and aggro when he rides and he is happy with them.
