Subject: RE: Race wheels for under $1000?the bear - 2013-02-12 12:09 PM Used front (HED 3 is my preference) and a disc cover from wheelbuilder.con ($100) on the rear. Substantially under $1000. Oh, and the good thing about aero equipment is that you can buy it and work on your engine. The two are not mutually exclusive, and both will make you faster. (or "make you slow down less," if you prefer ) Definitely a solid route to go if you can do it. I looked at doing this for a while, but a HED3 front that wasn't well over $450 was actually kinda hard to find. Some were getting caught in bidding wars on eBay for as much as $700. The ones that were less than that either disappeared FAST, or looked a little too beat up to want to buy and risk the money on. The wheelbuilder cover only works if your current rear wheel will accept one. Mine were Shimano R500's, which are not compatible. Because of this, I ended up going the FLO route and got a set of 90's and a wheelbuilder cover. Even managed to score the cover used for only $45. |
