Alternatives to Aerospoke wheels? (the brand)
Hi mates,
I want to change my wheels and I was thinking to get the aerospoke, however before purchase those wheels IŽd like to know another brands with similar wheels in order to compare. In other forum, they told me you are the people who know more about this, so please any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks a lot

What makes you think SSFG peeps will give you any different answers than you've already received ?

And for the record, most SSFG peeps are now mature adults who don't ride Aerospoke or similar solid wheels on the street.

Actually, I used to own a Mavic IO, but only rode it on the track. Sold it to help finance my trip to my track championships one year. Hot looking wheel, but stupidly expensive.

Had one and sold it as well. Looked "cool" but the heft offset any of the perceived aerodynamic advantage.

Except that OP said wheels (plural), and the Mavic IO is front only. Pay attention.

As always, if there's a will, there's a way.
