Sam Young replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"They look flashy, roll pretty well, and are more than a bit bullet proof. Can be rather affected by the wind though!"
Gemma K replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"you won't break them.... Other nice rims for the heavier rider is the DT Swiss 585."
Neville Bebee replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"Ditto that recommendation. I have had a set of TWE wheels on my climbing bike for 3+ years - roll very smoothly & never any issued or adjustments. It is a one man shop & Greg knows his stuff."
"I got a set of Dura Ace C35's for $900 at bike express in the city, great rims that roll really well and are very durable. I've done about 1500k's on them so far & love them"
RD6 replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"Jarrod, I am currently at 85kgs and use dura ace C24's and they have not missed a beat as they have done nearly 4,700kms and they are"true" and haven't busted a spoke yet"
Harry Smyth replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"If u have 700$ to spare then go the Dura Ace C24s.... Light stiff n fast... Will take 85kgs... I used them for training ang climbing for 5000+kms without an issue at 90 to 93kgs for awhile... Shop around as most places have them for around 1k... But…"

Patrick O'Kane replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"I was going to buy a set of those wheels baron before getting the new bike. Lot of good reviews about them and look like good value."
RD6 replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"Good to see another happy dura ace C24's rider"
Jarrod Kenney replied to Jarrod Kenney's discussion Looking to upgrade my wheels"Tensions do appear to be fine, and i've just had a second opinion, it is the rear wheel that is breaking the spokes and always on the non drivetrain side. I maybe interested in selling the wheels however i'm still a few weeks away from…"
