Experience with Bontrager X-Lite Aero?
- Thread starter Core 22
- Start date
$130 a rim? You sure about that? A set of those rims usually goes for around 750 stones. I have a set of '01 Bontrager Race X Lite. The rear rim cracked after about 9 months, but it fell underneath the 1 year warranty and my LBS replaced it. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with them.
Don't have the Carbon wheels! Only those with Alu rims, take a look at this:

No the wheel-set costs 750 stones (completely with rims and hubs and spokes
). I'm from Germany and we're able to get this wheel set for 469 Euro (about 500 $ I think; don't know why, Bontrager seems to be not so popular in our country), so the price of 130 Euro per rim is realistic...

Ah, I see. In your first post you had a $ sign next to 130.

Oops, my fault. Use it sometimes cause my keybord has no Euro symbol
.I wonder why so few (hope that's the right word, I wanted to say the opposite of "a lot of"
) people use this wheel set. I thought that Bontrager is very popular in the US?!? I tried to get some field reports about the Aeros in German bike-forums, but no one was able to help me Similar threads
