Title: wheel advice please
Post by: pdbike on June 21, 2007, 05:17:59 PM

Hi, am going buy some strong touring wheels soon.
I gather that sun rhinos are the strongest though heavy. How do the rhinolite, cr18s,and rigida sputniks rank in the tough/weight table. ie which are the next toughest.

advice please

I haven't used all of those so can't do a fair comparison and have no idea how they rank.  Those I have used, CR18s, Sputniks and Mavic 717s have all lasted about the same and I haven't noticed any difference to the bikes.  In future I'll use Sputniks, at half the price of the others I see no reason not to.
