Hi Guys, building a new roadie, have a budget of £150 for a wheelset, low I know but Its all part of the bigger picture. Anywhoo, the choices so far are between some Fulcrum Racing 5 and some Shimano RS30. Both £150 from merlin.

Does anyone know which or if one is better than the other?

Cheers

Mavic Aksiums...rrp £200 but you can find em for less.Pretty much benchmark wheels.

Have a look at these. I've just replaced my Aksiums with them after a bit of a crash. So far, so good.

You'll be reet with either, i favour Mavic myself though.

Fulcrum is Campagnolo in disguise 8)

M-Part do Msvic rims on Shimano hubs ready to go. A more trditional option, and easilly re buildable.
