Wanted Carbon 50 mm wheels

Zippe

Hey,

Looking for a set of wheels for a lad with a small budget, must be clinchers and shimano free hub, he is on a tight budget so nothing to fancy,

Cheers zip,

Mr.Fred

Would he not try out some chinese carbon? can't imagine there being many cheap carbon wheels knocking about.

True, I've been viewing them from the fence for a while now the price is a draw but the thoughts of them disintegrating going down a hill at full tilt terrifies me. :eek:

I've read good reviews on velobuilld though.

Good Luck

I've herd good and bad thing about them, it's the bad ones that stick in my mind, there is plenty of lads on them with no prob and they would probably rate them as good as the big names, I'm not going to chance them myself,they would be perfect for this guy but I'll see if a used set of cosmics come up,

Cheers zip,

What's the budget? Cosmics @ €550. Not mine but an acquaintance.

Agree totally.I've just got the T38s and they are a beautiful wheelset.They were genuinely twice this price last yr.

Mr.Fred

Are tubs much of a pain over clinchers. Obviously a roadside puncture could be an issue so i assume they'd be more race day wheels.

nothing apart from the fact that selcof have been making carbon seatposts for all the bike name italian brand bikes for over 20 years...
so one might think their carbon knowledge should be ok!
