Ah, you're right, William. The Saluki is indeed 135mm and the VO wheels are 130mm - oops. I'll be able to figure something out. -nathan On Oct 4, 2010, at 6:50 PM, William wrote: > I thought the Saluki was 135mm spacing? > > > > > > nathan spindel wrote: >> I ended up going with the VO Di

I've had GB Oursons on my Saluki for about a year now and like them a lot. At 60 - 65 psi they are as fast as I can go, at 50 - 55 psi they are more comfortable over poorer surfaces. Tread pattern is the same as Col de la Vie, but with a lighter, more lively casing. Based on little wear they ev

Thanks all for the advice so far! Those Handspun wheels (Dyad, Deore LX) seem like a good deal at $260 shipped, but I'm wondering how they compare to RBW's $200 Budget Synergy Wheelset (Synergy, Deore) which Rich goes over a bit. Since I'm a local I won't have to pay shipping on the wheels from RB
