Thx for the advice..i will be going for Alloy then. Concern bout those horror stories of Cheap Carbon wheels exploded or rupture during high speed..not sure if those are true or not..

Few of my choices so far:

1) Used American Classic  420 Aero 3
2) Used Zonda / Fulcrum Racing 3
3) New Fulcrum Quattro LG
4) Used Novated Jetfly ( good net reviews but nobody seem to know bout it)
5) Used Mavic SLE Exalith ( condition good but price at RM2k, worth it??)
6) New Mavic Kryserium Elites
7) Prolite C50 Carbon wheels ( thrown in for opinion seeking)

Thats bout all im looking at for thr price range of <RM2k, and i kinda prefer a bit aero like 30mm profile>

One more thing, now that rims gets wider, to make tires run wider ( a fitted 25mm become like 28mm)..does it really noticaeble impact? or its all just mktg talk?

if possible, don't buy the ksyrium elite. it has the old FTS-L freehub. manja a bit, but easy to maintain.

wait till u try to repair the new ID360 hub with new lock nut (there is id360 with old locknut, number 15 wrench). currently only UK sells them and not cheap. end up i have to ask a big favor from a kawan to make one out (Secret technique)

this my setup when m evening/night ride within the city, carry only 1 camelback 720ml bottle
middle pocket will have my phone + phonebag + id + cash
left pocket the topeak tool kit/pack. i love it comes with mini torque tool(bits) so u can easily deal with those carbon seatpost/handlebar issues
right pocket i bring the spare on my right pocket + energy gel incase i got bonk (skipping dinner) riding non planned route.


when im doing endurance/sunday morning ride, usually daytime + outskirt of city, i needed 2 bottle of water, the toolkeg will be remove, taking only the tube+co2 in my left pocket, moving the topeak toolkit to my middle pocket with my phone. i have no need of the spare lights on daytime, so will put pack with more food/choc/saltpill etc

80mm valve tube is very important as a lot ppl might be using 50mm wheelset and they dont have spare valve extender, rendering those short valve tube useless.

missing from my setup is a chain cutter, but its very very rare for a roadie to break their chain, so its fine.

ohya, my house/car key usually will drop into the toolkeg when riding. else will be in my left pocket.

give and take, you get what you pay. i wont say they are bad, just, buy kancil get kancil lor  sweat.gif but spare are cheap to source.

about fulcrum, their wheel are consider cheap in my opinion, but wait till your first repair, spoke coz 2-3x then standard spoke, axle cost rm4xx up to 1k for the higher end, really  doh.gif
one time a friend crash into me (front rider jam brake, i no choice jam also...my wheel actually hit his rear wheel already, from rear my friend ram into me, his fulcrum zero spoke bend... rm50 each wtf)

go for fulcrum racing quattro lg if budget allowed  thumbup.gif . nice climber and flat rolling (balance for budget).
shocking.gif macam a little overkill, after riding with fast group, u will lost those packs and its a big wind sail catching wind.

later i post i how pack XD i think lets start a sharing of how you guys pack when riding. smile.gif
you are fine.

Ic ok... thx. Will take look into the Quattro... initially was thinking abt those two wheelsets since they're better than the stocks I have plus I doubt ever need to go race competitive.

Yeah... that was my bro first reaction of the top tube bag... it's quite practical but at the same time... kinda make my bike look like an awkward land shark... lol... I probably ditch it once I get my first race jersey this weekend as well as the fear of things falling out of my back pocket.

Wow... that's quite an elaborate item arrangement there. Took me a while to digest the visual information...lol Btw,I noticed half of the items are on you and you forgo the saddle bag for the bottle keg.

I've been studying the pros and cons as well as testing/trying out whether to put more weight/items on the bike or myself. So far, I find it more comfortable for me to put more weight/items on the bike than to put on myself.
