Wheels for Audax
« on: November 23, 2010, 04:39:05 pm »
Ahoy

Last summer I picked up a Ultegra equiped Audax classic for a great price via ebay.  Now over the course of the next couple of months I want to give her a bit of a tidy up, first on the list is a blast and spray then new mudgards, bar tape, cables and a new saddle.

What I'm not sure about are the wheels, the bike came with 20 spoke Mavic Aksiums and I'd be intrested to know weather other Audax owners would switch these for something a little more robust and perhaps giving a more forgiving ride.

Cheers
JB

I bought a pair of rigida snyper hoops with deore lx hubs from spa cycles when I had my audax.

They were lovely!

Cheers Paulson, just checked them out on your blog, nice wheels, nice bikes.

I came across your blog about a year ago when investigating the Thorn Audax, great blog mate, I found some of your posts very useful, Thorn need to pay you commission. ;D
