    Looking to get a set of wheels for next season. I was checking earlier on Planet X and the 82/101 set seems to be sold out. Would anyone have any recommendations on any other suppliers that have a similar setup at a similar price, or alternatively, has anyone had any successful experience buying carbon wheels on eBay? At a quick search they mainly seem to be from china on eBay?

    Shameless plug: I have a set of Grammo Viper 88T with a rear disc cover. Cover has never been used. Wheels used for 5 races - 3 OLY & 2 Sprint.

    Let me know if interested.

    I'd go second hand for race wheels, find someone who looks after their kit and you can get top notch wheels at a much reduced price.

    Only used 7 or 8 times and the disc cover has never been used. I'll throw in carbon brake pads too :D
