I am looking to purchase new wheels for my 04 Trek 1000. Some idiot (in a car)pulled in front of me and decided to suddenly turn. What are some good ones out there or some to stay away from? And what do all the different #'s mean?
You're going to get a ton of free advice on this forum ... including mine! The real question is how much are you willing to spend?Scott'sTrek1000 said:I am looking to purchase new wheels for my 04 Trek 1000.

You can do way better than elites for alot less money. A trek 1000 doesn't need anything better than 105 or ultegra hubs and open pro rims, or a similar option as Dave suggest.shokhead said:I have Elites that are bullet proof but if i was getting new ones i'd get the Velomax Curcuits.

Great choice for a bottom of the barel Trek 1000.But now if you upgrade the bike to a 5900 or Madone...........gotendurance said:

shokhead said:He asked for good ones or ones to stay away from,i gave him 2 good ones and its ok to put those on a lower end bike.
jitteringjr said:Technically it is ok to put any wheel on any bike, but does it really make sense to put a $550 wheel set on a $600 bike? I agree with boudreaux.
If he upgrades bikes, he will get better wheels on it anyhow so I think he should be looking at something 'bombproof' like the Open pros or Cosmos that have 32 spokes so he could use them as training wheels on that newer bike.
OrbeaMike said:The best deal I found on the web is a set of Record hubs laced to open pros, 32 spokes for $300 per set. This would be a strong training wheel and still reasonably light. If properly tensioned, they should be bomb proof for anyone under 190lbs.

If he would have asked that,heck no he should not put wheelset the same price as his bike,i'm just answering his question. There are some who really like there bike so much they dont want another and will keep it for awhile and then i'd to spend that much. His choice.jitteringjr said:Technically it is ok to put any wheel on any bike, but does it really make sense to put a $550 wheel set on a $600 bike? I agree with boudreaux.

Reality bites.Scott'sTrek1000 said:"Bottom of the barel"...........THAT HURTS, MAN
Are Velomax Spartacus Velocity any good? Good enough to put on a new bike when I get one, if the wheels that come on it aren't better, that is...?
