RayKazansky, RM550 sound good. SenAik quote RM600
anyway RM5 or crossride fit my budget ler. i tried to get used wheelset but unknown condition keep haunt me yet only a little cheaper. honestly speaking every time i called up.. sold edi.
snapshots,
I'm more of an XC guy who rides in frim and once a while kiara (consider XC or AM?). so i guess the choice i made are near base on what i read. honestly i dont know whole lot about which wheel are suitable. dont get to try. can only read and ask around you friendly peoples
for custom built wheelset, any suggestion? and how much would a decent one roughly cost? where to get quote reasonably?

I'm a FM5 user. Fm5 is rated for xc & am as per their user manual. Not sure bout the cross rides, but from what I heard, it's more towards xc? Also u gotta consider the parts availability, from what I heard from a bike shop, although FM5 is using the aerospokes, it's replaceable with normal spokes. U gotta double checkmwith the sop ur buying to confirm though. Hub noise wise, it's super quiet until u run it in, then it's pretty sweet sounding.
Added on January 19, 2011, 8:49 pmIf budget's enough, as Chamelion said, custom sets are the best. Also must find a good wheel builder too.
hmn, how much do i need to concern about spoke changing? easy to get spoiled? those spoke do easily get right since they selling the wheels here.
changing normal/other spokes will not look good but might also have reliability issue? i notice the RM5 spoke are slightly different than normal one. they are 2:1 ratio and should be made stronger to offset the lesser spoke count.
i dont really care bout the hub sound la. but i guess with that budget range i cant complaint much. so long i dont break any bones from riding it.
anyway, how ur experience with it. live up to ur abuse?
