In your weight category, I suugest Velocity Deep V rims with double butted 14/15 spokes and Ultegra hubs built by a high quality wheel builder. If you are using Campy, then use Centaur hubs.krobohm said:I am looking to see what wheelset I should purchase, I am a fit 230 lb rider and want see what has worked for others in my weight catagory.

I'm not quite as heavy as you at 210 but after 175 miles so far so good. Generally wheels will go out of true in the first few rides. And generally after that they are OK. So I am happy at this point. My other wheels are Velocity Rims with 32 2X in the back and 28 1X in the front and other than that first truing after 100 miles they have held out well now at 4500 miles.Frigo's Luggage said:Mavic Kysrium Elites.
I agree very much so with that option. I know someone that is 280 and continues to refuse this recommendation. It has been three years and he is talking of a third wheelset, now.daveornee said:In your weight category, I suugest Velocity Deep V rims with double butted 14/15 spokes and Ultegra hubs built by a high quality wheel builder.

I am riding DT Swiss 240's with R1.1 Rims 32 rear and 28 radial front. They have been great I am at a fit 235 and am sold on these. These were also hand built and had to have them trued a few times before the settled in then they trued them up with the spoke prep and have been great ever since!!krobohm said:I am looking to see what wheelset I should purchase, I am a fit 230 lb rider and want see what has worked for others in my weight catagory.
