Hi all,

Any Wheelset sifu can advice me on a wheelset.

Im interested in a used older American Classic 420 Aero 3 Alu wheelset.
But the rim is narrow, not exactly sure bout the inner width, but lesser than wider norm 17C for sure.

Is there anyone who tried running them with wider 25mm tires, and apart from probably balloon look..any issues ?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Never changed part before. Serviced it with H2C Ampang, the same place where i got it. It was about 6 years ago when I have it, so... it was still ok. Not sure about now though.

Have u tried with wider 25mm tires, and does it looks very balloon or lightbulb as they called it?
Probably 6 years ago, there wasnt 25mm or not popular.

From Miaopurr article, i know now it can fit and works on the narrow inner bed.

Get a zonda. Not only you'll have a great alu wheel, its pretty light for its price plus you'd still have some change with that budget

Getting carbon wheel at that price point will end up with cheap hubs with bearing breaking after a year (two of my cycling bud's superteam just changed bearing).
Even with carbon they don't weight light either, 1.7+1.8kg for carbon wheel? Rm2k can get u good alloy at the same or lighter weight with better hubs! And reliable braking.

A lot of time we get blinded by price point and dump reliability aside.

Surprisingly, HUNT (uk) also falls into the "cheap china" wheel catagory after I inspect my friend hunt, it's build with Taiwan cheap parts! His bearing and freehub pawl(suspect novatec) a bit worn off after 400km only. I felt he was dupe by HUNT.

Guys,

To gain more stamina or endurance as well as lose weight, is it better for me to cycling on trainer with HR beat consistenly at 160bpm or do burst like train a few minutes at 180bps or so then cool down to 120-130bps and do burst again?
