Are these good wheels? I need to replace the crappy 24 spoke

Find wheelbuilder in your area and have them build you a wheelset to your specifications. You'll get exaclty what you want and you'll get a better quality build with local support. Many wheelbuilders will even true them up for you later for free.

Yeah good luck getting hand built custom wheels for $80

>>1099998
It's worth paying extra to not only get what you want but get it handbuilt by someone who's good at it, you get a better quality wheel. Or did you think that the ones you buy online are all handbuilt, too? They're not, much of it is automated.

Those wheels aren't GOOD, but they're alright, and I doubt that the wheels on your bike already are any better than these.

There are perfectly good machine made wheels out there, if the op is looking at $80 wheels it makes you sound like a sperg when you start bleating about going to a wheelbuilder. It's like someone asking if a craigslist bike is a good idea and bleating about retul fits and seven axioms

I get it, you just read sheldon brown's wheel builder article, get over yourself

Really depends on the bike, they're likely better than whatever comes on a walmart BSO

That's a $160 wheelset, $74 and $85 each (presumably the front being cheaper).

get something better used off ebay.
you get insane deals for wheels.

if you want to you ca even have them trued at your LBS.

for 100 € you get seriously nice used shit + a trueing

>>1100009
Yeah, but the wheelset I'm having built rn will cost me about $400, which is twice what OP is looking to pay. Sure, it's going to be a bombproof rad af wheelset, but seriously bro, budgets matter.

>used wheels
good luck gambling with your life, anon.
at the very least, treat yourself to a thorough truing and rebuild

>26 spoke wheeles that keep popping
Try getting the fork out of your mouth, fatass.

Meanwhile I'm riding on 16/21 spoke wheels that are still perfectly true after thousands of miles on them. Either lose weight or stop abusing your bike.
