    Rode my first Sportive on Saturday, well I say ‘rode’ the truth is i had to push the last four miles as my hub gave out, prior to that I had 2 spokes come through the rim. The wheels were the standard one fitted to the bike when I bought it Easton EA30’s I think. Needless to say I need new hoops, but as ever there is no easy answer so was looking for some real people reviews.

    I want to upgrade and have heard that Mavic Krysium Elites are good and strong but they are above what I was hoping to spend (if they are worth it then I will stretch). Also heard some good things about Fulcrum Racing 3’s but started to glaze over with confusion when I started reading about the 2way tubeless thingy magigee.

    I am about 13 stone and do not race (at the moment) so strength is more important than weight but I want to improve on what I had as I do about 100 -150 miles a week and want to get faster!

    Any suggestions welcome!

    Thanks in advance

    The more I read about them
    The more I read about them the more I’d like some handbuilt hoops, and if you’re not chasing light weight they needn’t cost much.

    Otherwise Shimano 6700 is good value for a factory wheelset, and available at a lot less than RRP.

    But to be faster you need to get fitter.

    I have Kysrium Elites – one year on they still run true. Light and strong – can’t praise them enough.
