upgrading wheels
 

I'm considering upgrading wheels on my x-country mtb. I'm 6' and weigh
180lbs. I've been looking at Cane Creek's Aeroheat wheels. I noticed a lot
of places are selling them for $225 for the set. It looks like they used to
retail for about $420. Any opinions on these wheels? Are they worth the
money and will they do okay for a 180 lb cross country rider?

thanks,
-gabe

Those are junk, which is why they are desperate to get rid of them at
such a low cost. Have a reputable local wheelbuilder lace you up a
set.

I have Sun Rhyno-Lite and they seem to be pretty tough rims, won't win
any point if you are a gram-cruncher though.

There is nothing better that good ole 3 cross laced wheel.

Plus they can be repaired at any bike shop.

Or DIY if you learn the black art of wheelbuilding.

That's the one thing I have not tackled yet.

At the risk of getting in trouble with the Memphis PD...go for it! It's not
hard.

I promise when I do, I won't be in Memphis. For now, I'm not in any danger
of breaking any spokes, as my almost complete bike sits safely in the repair
stand.
