Which wheels for the Fred Whitton?

boxelder · 2010-08-26T13:50:45+01:00

Not specifically for the Fred, but almost all my road riding is done in the Lakes over the same roads and the FW is about the only competitive event I do. Budget about £300, to go on a Spesh Roubaix Was thinking of some Hope Hoops (open pro rims) - I'm an MTBer at heart! Mavic Kysirium? Shim Ultegra hubs, hand built onto Open pro rims? New or secondhand? (I know this is a bit subjective) Your thoughts/views appreciated.

Any wheel which is super light and has a motor attached as standard!

I have some decent Bontrager Race X lites on my Trek 5.2 but I don’t think any wheel upgrade will ever get me up Hardknott 🙁

£249 at CRC, although I don’t think they have any right now. We gave them 9/10 at £100 more than that…
