Best Road Bicycle wheel set for the money? - zipp wheel bag
My friend and I started the bike and we are always faster every week, but still not fast by any means. Our question is: Which set of wheels worth the money. We have the 3 Hed, Zipp, Mavic, etc. .. Would love opinions heard. How much per mile rate could be obtained with one of the wheel sets, the comparison with May-wheels that come with the bike. Thanks

There are all kinds of bikes and offer advantages and disadvantages for different types of behaviors. For example, serious Aero wheels are faster, but more sensitive to side winds, and as more rigid is not as desirable for the long distance.

Shall I not recommend a specific brand or model, but is usually aluminum alloy wheels, stainless spokes and centers of excellence. During the drive wheels slightly on the best (minimizing the weight of the rotation are always desirable for daily use is probably best to avoid very small wheels, for the sacrifice durability. Similalry, while a more efficient cross-section tire is faster than I want to peak for the reasons mentioned above. Sheet wheels with a few rays (16-20 in front, 20-24, on the back) are a little faster.
I've recently bought a bicycle wheel and the updated valuesfor the following model, as it was about 150 grams lighter for a couple. because of alloys and construction of lighter wheels are as strong or stronger ... But the cost of a few hundred dollars. See how a little weight savings can cost a lot?
If you speed in the plains and hills to go with aero wheels, but, frankly, the difference is more sensitive to the loader / radio less weight on the wheels.
A proposal .. Read the search for wheels then used. The links are used in the alignment with a maker of wheels and a good place for bikes and equipment, classified.
I think it might help if you provide us with what they say the wheels (or rims and hubs) that you do, so that we have the kind of thing you want to update to know a.
ReplyDeleteI bought a set of tires for my Specialized Allez Aksium Mavik 2008 and has been great. Much stronger and longer than those who came with him.
