Cheapest wide road wheelset?

oldguy00 · #1 03-19-2018, 08:55 AM

Hey all, I'm looking for a wheelset that would strictly be a backup wheelset. Wouldn't even see trainer use as I use a kickr. And they might see at most 5 - 10 outdoor rides per year, as most of my training is indoors now.

But, I would like a wide rim, to match or be close to my HED Jet Black wheels. My bike (Felt IA) does not have brakes that are easily width adjustable, so...

I see sets like shimano RS21 and RS610 for really cheap, like 200, but they are narrow rims. But I'd love to find something in this price range.

As much as I like the custom wheel builders on the forum, I am really hoping to find a cheap set like the shimano pre-builts, not 300-400.

Help! Thanks!

Velocity A23 on Shimano hubs.

something like this will work:

heavy - but serviceable.

I bought a set of those for my Allez. They're nice.

Fulcrum Quattro LG or 5 LG from UK Merlin, Ribble etc . are nice if you stretched budget a bit ~ $250-300. 7 LG are sub $200.

Velomine have a variety in ~$200 to $250 (and up, of course):

32 spoke Shimano 5800 hubs and your choice of Archetype or TB14 rims.

Or keep an eye on your local Craigslist for current Bontrager TLR wheels. They come stock with a lot of Trek bikes and many people in this area sell them as new-take-offs for $150-$175. They're quite good at that price.

For some (very) slightly wider options:

Hunt 4Season Aero (24mm external, 19mm internal) 1579g, $416
Neugent Cycling A220CW (24 external, internal width not listed) 1580g, $295
(there also appears to be a 10% off promo for buying wheels with red hubs)
Ambrosio i20 (25mm external, 20mm internal) 1770g, $233

I think those 7's might fit the bill. $293 Canadian including 2 Conti GP4000S II tires...
