Gear Talk / Touring Rear Wheel Recommedations
« on: December 06, 2005, 08:36:30 pm »
A couple of days ago I went to my local bike shop to buy(order) a rim, hub, and spokes to build my own wheel. The mechanic did everything he could to talk me out of it and insisted that a factory Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheel would be more durable and reliable. I evenutally left and ordered my stuff online but has anybody actually ridden loaded with one of these. BTW I have a set of the wheels he mentioned that I use on my other bike and have not had any problems - even at 260 lbs. I just like building my own.
