I picked up a pair of Performance's Titan wheels for my first roadbike
in about 15 years. They are the same wheels as Supergo's Korso
wheels. Both are made by Alex. They have 27mm deep aero rims with 16
front and 20 rear bladed spokes. I plan to finish building up the
bike this wekend.
The wheels seem sturdy in spite of the reduced number of spokes.
Still, being used to 36 and 32 spoke wheels, I was a little nervous.
I contacted Alex as to the weight limit of the wheels. They replied
with @198 lbs. I currently weigh @200lbs (working on fixing that -
the reason for the new bike). I am going to run a pair of Specialized
700x26c tires. I will be riding mostly a flat bike trail - a 35 mile
loop.
In spite of the manufacturer's assurance, I still wonder if I made a
wise decision with these wheels. Any thoughts?
