Good set of wheels

freddie_

Hey
Am thinking of buying a good set of wheels, willing to spend around 800/900. am thinking about http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=89&idproduct=33726. looking at clinchers. Currently have fulcum racing 3s and cant fault them.
can anyone recommend the racing 0s or a differant set. thanks

Why do you want new wheels?

mainly for racing. something i am planning to do in a big way this summer. plus heading abroad for a week of cycling also and want to look the part if nothing else !!

Your current wheels will do as well for racing as the Zeros. Are you racing already? Road races or triathlons?

If you are looking to lose a bit of weight these look like a very good bet for less than the Zeros but unlikely to make much of a difference in a race.

I'd agree with blorg here. Cutting 135g from your wheels for any race in Ireland won't make the blindest bit of difference (although Fulcrum Zeros do look the part).

Aerodynamics will make a bigger difference than weight (and this difference will still be marginal when compared to the differences in rider ability/fitness). On your budget, I'd be considering something like these for racing and keep the Fulcrums for your trip to the continent.

If you haven't raced before, I'd hold off on buying wheels until you've settled in. Better get your crashing in first before splashing the cash.
