KiwiMike – I have to agree, a year on I am only seeing now how poor the OEM wheels are.

I took the plunge last night and ordered the JRA Jawbones, TBH i had been looking at them for a while and I just hope now ive made the right decision. I’ll update the post when I get them!

Could yous also recommend a good 6 bolt disc rotor to go with them!

OP, *anything* will be better than the OEM wheels. I tested the Ride 5k last year, and liked it so much I purchased the bike.  But at circa 2.3kg with cheese for bearings, the wheels have to go.

Into a skip, ideally.

 

I rode the Kinesis Discs last year too, during the Kinesis GF Ti Disc review. Really liked them.

For what it’s worth I am very pleased with my ksyrium disc (not pro). Perhaps not high end enough for your bike but it’s improved mine hugely from the stock wheels; they have brass nipples which I consider important in this wet country and they were not hugely expensive.

Thanks Dave the Pro Lites

Thanks Dave the Pro Lites look good and I will consider them when making my final choice.

Price is the main consideration for me and hence value for money, i dont want to spend over £500 if possible.

Ive had a look at these and they certainly look good VFM, within my pricerange and have got great reviews

Any views on these?

Pro Lite Revo A21 (http://road.cc/content/review/178938-pro-lite-revo-a21w-centerlock-disc-brake-wheelset)

Worth a look:

Kinesis 700c Disc

DT Swiss R-32 Spline

I’ve had 3 different pairs

I’ve had 3 different pairs over the past 4 or 5 years, all with aluminium rims & standard quick releases.

Hope Pro hubs on Mavic Open Pro rims. There were no dedicated road disc wheels when I first built up a road bike with discs. These were “solid” (heavy!).

Reynolds Stratos Pro disc. Lighter & more aero, but poor spoke tension, needed re-truing, front hub bearings developed play quickly.

Ksyrium Pro disc. The Ksyrium’s are head & shoulders above the others. Lighter, stiffer, faster.

How much are you wanting to

How much are you wanting to spend?

What are your criteria: Looks, weight, robustness?

What kind of tyres do yo want to use: width, tubeless, tubular, clinchers?

Are you willing to build or do you want to buy complete?

Material: Carbon, alloy, cheese?

 

You may (may) get a slightly more helpful response, maybe even from somebody who actually has a valid opinion about these types of thing.
