They are nice looking wheels but I don't think they would work on this bike

I was considering a set of Archetypes and White Industries blue hubs......but I was hoping for an all black brake track that won't wear off. I also thought about ordering some Farsports clinchers with DT350 hubs, but I like the braking/no worries of aluminum rims. :noidea:

Also, I like riding gravel/dirt roads so worried about CCs on that type of terrain.

how about Fulcrum Racing Zero Nite? They are cheaper than the Mavics, almost the same cool black look and do have campa technology inside!

I thought about the Fulcrums also, but the silver nipples turned me off to them.

All black looks cool, but I have yet to see a ceramic coating that doesn't wear. Exalith comes close, but then you get a harsh riding wheel and proprietary spokes. I'd go with some good handbuilts and call it a day.

sorry, just for my understanding: thats about the yellow mavic-stickers? why not simply removing those?
i although cleaned my rsys (btw, not harsh at all, quite the opposite, very smooth ride), no problem at all.

No, the 125th anniversary wheels have a yellow spoke and hubs

Spin Engineering Wheels seen to be pretty highly rated, are wider than Mavics, competitive on price, and the red detailing would pick out the red detail on the frame.

I would reccomend A set of Velocity A23's with a all black rim. The rim color is anadized all the way through

Well.....had a few too many this weekend and ordered a set of Farsports clinchers. Went with a CHEAP set with the bitex hubs to test their durability on the roads/gravel that I ride and if they handle it I will probably order a set with the DT hubs.

Nice bike. You in the US? I was looking at some great deals at some euro retailers selling Fulcrum dark and Metron wheels for pretty low prices. The dollar is strong lately which helps I think. Not sure of the metron quality but they look good on this bike.

n/m - just noticed you said you ordered wheels. Those farsports clinchers looked like a good buy
