Alloy or Spoked Wheels?

[prwatts]

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before - which are lighter? Alloys or the spoked wheels? Thanks Peter

The alloys are lighter and the original double spoke alloys 2004 - 2007 are lighter than the current ones.

Thank you

They are not as brittle so they bend but are a pain to clean!

Shallow, shallow, shallow..... What's important is how the weight affects the rate of turn. Not what they look like, FFS...!

"Best" isn't a matter of looks. See, if you'd concentrated on making that last bike go better rather than turning it into a tart's handbag you might have actually been persuaded to keep it and ride it....
