I got a free Racing 5 upgrade on my Wilier and am well pleased so Fulcrum are a good route to check out wheel wise.

I find that Gatorskins come second only to Marathon Plus in the bastard to fit stakes and I have fitted a few Gatorskins in the shop.

My bike came with Shimano R501s. Not the lightest wheels in the world, but certainly a lot lighter than some stock options. Fairly cheap as well.

I've got Schwalbe Lugano's and was surprised at how easy they were to get on and off.

merry xmas to y'all

i've been avoiding people and googling stuff. there's a pretty good deal on these:
http://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-rs11-wheels-black-pair-44693.html

and at 1700g and £90 a pair..it seems pretty darn good.

also, these campagnolo's are pretty, italian, lighter and cheap

anyone care to offer an opinion, or care at all Smiley ?

I'd still get the Fulcrums - but that's a very biased opinion as I have no experience of the others.

Going to start commuting via bike soon (7 miles per day, good to fair road quality with a couple of hills). Can anyone offer any recommendations? Looking to pay in the £500/£600 sort of range.

What sort of bike? Mtb, road, flat bar road,   hybrid ?? Do you need something to take panniers or a rack pack ?

No idea on what sort, that's why I'm asking. Won't need panniers or a rack.
