New Wheels?

Jim05 · 2012-04-05 17:02:33

Hi I'm looking to buy a replacement front wheel for my giant defy 2 Are there any good wheels online which I could purchase. I can't seem to find the original wheels Kenda Kriterium, 700x25mm in any online shop. What other wheels would be suitable

What's your budget? What do you want to use the wheels for?

It all depends on what you want from the wheel. If you are looking for a decent factory wheel and are not too worried about weight etc then a Shimano R501 can be got for about €60. A little further up the market is the Mavic Aksium at about €110, they are a popular replacement wheel.
