budget wheels

kenmac

hi all,
Made **** of my rear wheel today so I need to buy a new wheelset,
however my budget is tight.

I'm using a campag groupset,

are either of these http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=89&idproduct=16968
or
http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=89&idproduct=13744#

(a), compatible with the groupset
and (b) durable enough

bear in mind that I'm a 15 stone former hurling full back who is cycling to keep the weight down and the heart rate up.
I'm doing about 150m per week at the moment

I would go with the Aksiums, very good price and there is not much between them and the fulcrum 7s.

As for your questions: (a) Make sure you get a set with a campag compatible freehub. Mavic list this part as ED10 for 10 speed campag freehubs and M10 for shimano.

(b) I find them plenty durable. 1 year of all sorts of terrain (including the cobbles of flanders) and they are still perfectly true. But, I am only 10 stone so you might have to ask some of the heavier riders.

I was on the verge on buying Fulcrum 5s when speaking to a wheelbuilder who was recommend to me suggested that the Askiums were a better wheel PLUS he said cycle super store were the sole agents for Fulcrums so any probs you encounter and its back to them where as with Mavic's any decent bike shop will deal. How true it is I dont really know. I didnt buy off him as Fiourosox step ed in with anice set of Ambrosio's (then I went and lost the lock ring for the campag hub )

That is a really excellent price for the Aksiums. They are a good solid wheel.

Single Malt

Ask, if buying Aksiums, for a freehub swap. Most shops are happy to swap.

Khamsins are a good budget factory wheelset also, and surprisingly are Campagnolo compatible
Available in Parkers for £97 sterling - good value at the moment with sterling being so low!
