so then, got a pair of maviv Ksyrium's on my cross bike, there realy good road racing wheels and pritty light, there worth new between £400 and £500's but with using them for the cross the rims are realy worn

so at the end of the season am thinking of getting a new set of rims for them, which are £40 each, and about £20 to build them (nooo am not that confident at building wheels yet Laughing

)

i think this is a good idea, paying about £100 to get them back into road racing shape, then i dont have to pay up to £400 for a pair of good road racing wheels at the same weight

so then you's think this is a good idea to Question

You are using Ksyriums on a cross bike? Why? They are very light road wheels built for speed and climbing. I have the latest ones £600 and worry about riding them on the roads

i was thinking the same thing

erm tbh there the only wheels ive got atm and the one of the two sets of mavics that came with the £50 cross bike Very Happy

the other set are mavic cosmos but a need a new rear hub as one of the tabs has snapped were the straight pull spokes sit

so would you say my idea of getting the wheels re rimmed would be better than paying the same money for say this set of wheels
