jaguar Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Im trying to decide what wheels to put on this bike. What suggestions do you guys have regarding asthetic and performance points of view? Im thinking of rims with a touch of white or red on them and some Racing Ralphs? I would love to hear all your thoughts though.thanks!
AndreZA Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Black Stan's wheels. It's got red and white in the stickers. Don't overdo it, the bike looks nice as it is. I would also changes cages to black. And get a Shimano crank. A top swing front derailleur will also look better. It is more hidden then your current one.
Taps Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 WTF difference does it make? Put on the wheels that do the job as you want it done. Nobody really cares what your bike looks like (OK, so I'm having a bad day ). Just enjoy your bike, it's a great one.
Weight Weenie Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Ja Taps you having a bad day 4sure ! American classic make a white and red rim, should look good.Or DT Swiss also makes some white and red rims, dont know the model. Or stans for a more low-key look, but I think you can pull the white off here quite well.... Could also try some white cables or red bar ends ? Red crank bolts and quick releases can also work
Weight Weenie Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Hans they are tubeless right ? Haven't really looked at them, kinda similiar to the mavic slr it seems ? Seem heavy for what you pay though
BrendonMyb Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 dont you just rather wanna donate this beauty to me instead. You can then claim from insurance - hows that ? Beautifull bike & i would put on american classics ( white rim with red detail ). That will look so pimped out & its an awesome wheel
jaguar Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks for the thouhts guys. Looks like the general opinion is the American Classics. Anyone had any experience with Fulcrum Red Metal 3s or 5s?
Velouria Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I hope that is an old couch, because now it has a grease stripe on it from your chain. Maybe you should be saving for a new couch as well
Gerhardc Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I'll suggest some round MTB rims....my expert opinion!! Whatever you fit, enjoy that awesome bike!!!
Thumper Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 DT Swiss with Schwable, racing ralph at the back and rocket ron up front.
