Wheel ShoppingMy rear wheel (Bontrager Race) has gotten into the habit of getting out of true, so I'm looking for a new one. My price range is <$200 for just a rear, and <$350 if I buy a pair (the front is fine, but I have a bit of OCD and such so I like things to be the same ). I'm looking at maybe a Mavic Aksium right now ($140), but I'm going to search around a bit more. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Wheel Shopping
Funny you should say that about your rear, both my Race and Race Lites keep going out of true. Had my Race Lite done 2 weeks ago and it's wobbling again. A guy I work with it fairly in the know, and he swears by Askiums for winter. Calls them disposable wheels. |

Forza, I had a pair of Easton EA90 SLs with which I was very pleased. Might be just a bit expensive, but the Easton EA50 SL should be in your price bracket. Hand built wheels and lighter than your Bontranger Race. | ||

Forza,
Nashbar has a deal on Rolf Apex wheels. I've never used Rolf's, but the guys at my local bike shop really like them. Its $340 for the pair, normally $700. Rolf Also some good deals right now on a couple of others (Shimano). All pairs You'll need to act quickly. These deals only last a couple of days. EDIT: The Rolf's may be a one day sale for today only. |
