New wheels and brakes on CAADX
May 24, 2016, 09:39:42 pm
I'm after another set of wheels to turn my 2015 caadx into a sort of road bike.

I think I fairly set on getting the TRP spyre brakes to replace the promax render-r set that came with it (unless anyone thinks that the TRP HY-RD's are worth the investment) but need a bit of help deciding on what wheel set to upgrade to.
I want to run 25mm tyres on them, probably conti 4 seasons or gatorskins with tubes as going tubeless sounds like a lot of faff.
6 hole disc rotors.
shimano 10 speed
Any help or advice greatly recieved

I thought I new fair bit about road bikes but other than conti 4 seasons and Shimano 10 speed I don't understand what you are asking.

I'd love to offer some advice Jim but I know absolutely nothing about road wheels. If you're after a set of wheels that can have a foot in both road and cyclocross camps though you could do worse than browse or post on the grit.cx forum (assuming you haven't already)

It will depend on how much you want to spend. I have always liked Mavic Kysriums but recently I spent what was left of my inheritance on a pair of Zipp Firecrests 303 and I'm pleased with them up,to now
