QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 14 2013, 06:13 PM) actually... come to think of it.. RM18k is not a lot also if you want to build a nice bike...depending on the definition of "nice" also lar...you either end up with a 1) not too exp frame + top flight group + not too exp wheels 2) some exp frame + top flight group + not very interesting wheels 3) not too exp frame + near top end group + pretty but not the most expensive yet wheels your choice.... sworks or maybe scott CR1, sram force, racing zero. maybe can get sram red too. nice enough? |

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 14 2013, 06:39 PM) you sure boh... don't tease me and get me all fired up... last time i almost lay the money for a set of Bontrager Race X Lite... when they were still licensed by rolf... sure laaaaaaa... aiyah... but not sure if they carry the entire range. i know they have some deep HEDs, and a number of rolf wheels. not sure if they have ares4 specifically This post has been edited by miaopurr: Jan 14 2013, 06:41 PM |

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 14 2013, 06:48 PM) i didn't thought of that... so, you considering goin paired spokes?  used to. but chose mavic instead. i read that paired spokes got really high tension. if breaks, go out of true like crazy |

QUOTE(Mac Wai @ Jan 14 2013, 07:25 PM) Back to square peg in a round hole...mainstream is the story.. Cause no money to throw about. Zipp 303 or 404 for style? like butthead says, go with 303 if ur fren not planning to own a spez and insist on burning 7-8k. my fren would go with 303 as well. but, being a sensible fella, my fren chose to go with a common tried and tested alu low profile wheelset instead. maybe in future he'd get a 303 too, just for smooth and flat route. |

QUOTE(Mac Wai @ Jan 14 2013, 08:23 PM) What low profile Alu wheelset- a must have if you have a 303 budget? nothing i guess. even the nicest ones won't get as expensive as 303 |
