how many wheels
« on: June 19, 2015, 06:47:07 AM »
Hi Everyone
Was wondering how many wheels do have? im thinking in getting two sets. An expensive one which will be use for racing and a cheap set for mostly for commuting to town everyday. 

Good idea?

Just one "happy medium" set. It does everything i need and then some.
Might as well get a spec list going while we're at it.
Nextie 27.5 x 35mm outer hooked rims 420g each
Hope Evo 2 hubs 40t
DT Competition spokes
DT Pro-lock brass nipples
1750g taped and valved

I've been in the mindset that light race day wheels are great but if they won't take a daily beating, I probably won't trust them to get me through a race. But that's just my opinion and I'm not a pro racer.

One set for each of my two Chiner bikes.  If you get a set of carbon wheels, you really don't need anything else unless you are worried about the wheels getting stolen from your bike.

If I was to race XC at a "competitive" level...I would have two sets.

One tubeless pair for training and general use...and a pair of carbon tubular wheels for racing only.

I used to have two pairs of wheels for my road bike. One Reynolds 32mm carbon clinchers and one pair of ZIPP 404 tubulars.
