    i want a second set of wheels to put race tyres on, rather than having to change them,
    what are a reasonable set.. i see mavic krysium highly reccomended, any others as they are very expensive.. or would anything be an improvement on the wheels that came with the bike

    I got the Ksyrium elites recently as a new trainer and love it! Id been using Aksiums for about 4 years and feel a fairly big step up on the Ksyriums. they just feel more solid. Got them cheap here - http://www.4thebike.de/laufraeder/rennrad/20/mavic-ksyrium-elite

    thanks ! tempting but it was more an enquiry towards a longer term purchase.. if i spent 30 quid on wheels at the moment i might be divorced, but over the winter / before next season starts it feasible..

    You need to start hiding your purchases and rounding down prices, that is what we all do :)

    Yup. My wife (:eek:) is quite short, so I hide things on the higher shelves. Latest is a pair of winter cycling boots that were discounted on CRC :D

    thats fine for small purchases.. wheels will be noticed, not least cos il be broke after it..she's semi into this craic herself.. ( in fairness she bought my wetsuit for me ) so she'd notice the different wheels on the bike
