Recommend me some lightweight road wheels
Discussion
Hi everyone,
Last year I bought a 2024 Giant Defy Advanced 1. I knew it would feel slower than the Cannondale it replaced however it’s sluggish and lacking in agility/fun. However there is a lot to like about it, especially the riding position, so I am keen to keep it.
The crux of the problem is the wheels, which are Giant PR2 and apparently weigh just over 2000g which is bonkers for a bike that retailed at £3300.
Can anyone recommend some wheels that will weight around the 1500g mark? I see these Hunt ones are good value: https://www.huntbikewheels.com/products/hunt-30-ca...
Does anyone have any experience on these, or can recommend anything else? I don’t really want to spend ah huge amount more than the £600, but I’m open to budget creep 🤣
