    Are you looking for wheels for disc brakes or disc wheels for a TT bike?

    Wheels for disc brakes.

    Going on the hugely positive reviews I got a pair of Kinesis Crosslights V3 and was disappointed. Bearings failed in rear after aprx 2000 KM and spokes start snapping not long after. Bothered me because so many reviews saying great things but when the failings are googled you see I was far from alone with the problems.

    Contrast that to a much cheaper pair of Fulcrum Racing Sport Disc. these turned out to be reliable and just work far better than they should for the price.
    They've remained true, bearings spinning like good things even through the rains we've had, don't notice the weight at all - I'd liken them to the Khamsins I used as rim brake wheels - reliable, strong and cheap.

    Agree on the Fulcrums. The ones I have got a fair bit of abuse for the last year and still run perfectly true.
