First time poster.
Until this year, I was always a mountain biker, until a broken leg got me into road biking as a means of getting fitness back and I’m now loving everything about it. However, my bike has heavy flexy wheels and I’d like to upgrade them.
Ive a budget of around £800 and I’m looking for climbing wheels. I’m fairly light at 62kg so superstiff wheels could be a problem. Most of my rides will include a lot of climbing.
Thoughts so so far are:
– dura ace 9000 c24 – worried they might be too narrow for 28mm tyres
– Mavic ksyrium pro exalith- again issues in narrowness and also don’t seem to be recommended for light riders due to stiffness
– hope Carbon hoops, 30s? Too heavy? Would braking be a problem with these?
As you can probably tell, I’m a bit lost with this. Does anyone have any recommendations that might help? I can go higher than my budget for the right thing.
Many thanks
