I am just after purchasing a New Mekk Poggio 2.0 and the wheelset(Shimano r500) are a little basic....Obviously and entry level set. I would like to upgrade to a wheelset no heavier than 1550 gr. Does anyone have any idea's? Budget € 250-€ 300. Alll info. welcome. Rear Cassette is Shimano.

And a birra research seyz the lads behind GT bikes and the Boardman range are behind MEKK.
The new wonder-bargain maybe???

Have a look at some of the campag wheels. They come with shimano freehubs aswell now.

Heres a link from ribble in the UK

I would recommend either the Siroccos or the Zondas... They cost a wee bit more. But both are really good!

Though clinchers are a b*tch to take off them if you puncture, as I learned last week.

Not if ya want to lick your fingers and brush your eyebrows into shape as you drop
'Carbon frame yannow like' to yer mates etc lol

Thats what I meant is it the NEW bargain sherrif in town etc.
Carbon frame, ****ter components, but without 20 .com advertising
schtickers all over your bike either. I was going for one til I saw a lad
stopped at lights beside me on a white and said ehh nah.:cool:



What time you be over later Boss, I'll sweep the muck away from the front of the
caravan and throw a few buckets of water over the kids to keep the schtink down?

hey Jon hows the bike? looking at too and will upgrade the wheels what wheels did you go for?

How's it going ipodrocker,

Would you believe I only up-graded the wheels this week. I couldnt make up my mind last year, so I left it, and just used the e-level wheels that I had on the bike.....which to be honest were grand. I'm still using them at the moment for winter spins, and training.

As I said above, I bought a new pair of Campag. Zonda's (clinchers). I only fit the tubes and tyres to them last night and plan on going out on them on my next day off. They look the business, the weight differential between what I have, and the Zonda's is obvious straight away.

The best thing about them though was, I got the name of a web-site off this board, to buy them from, and they were cheaper than WIGGLE(I buy most of my gear off of them). The Information, service, and delivery were amazing and the little added touches from them were excellant(threw in a couple of energy bars-FOC).....I would highly reccomend them....www.swimcyclerun.com. There also Irish.
They gave me added discount with a promotional code and delivery was next day. If your up-grading give them a shout. You wont be dissapointed.

All the best!

Sorry, Missed part of your question...

Delighted with the Mekk Poggio. Nice bike. Handles lovely, very responsive, just a nice bike to spin out on. I Will probably upgrade some of the Components as I go(I put an 10 speed Ultegra cassette on the new Zonda's while I was at it). Looking forward to doing a few sportives on it, this year. Great value for a carbon road bike in my Opinion.
