Well I've just about had enough of my standard wheels, there's only so many times I can true them out from inner-city cycling and to top it off the hub appears to be damaged! I've been looking at getting some trispokes for a while for long distance stuff and just to make my bike look the sex, my question though is how durable are they realistically? I live in Leicester and the roads here are... well... dreadful! Out of all the cities I've cycled in here has to be one of the worst. I'd be looking to use them as my permanent wheels, but most of my cycling is in the countryside anyway so I only have to negotiate the potholes on my way to the outside.
I figure once they go, they've gone for good with no truing out, but if they stay truer for longer then I might just be able to swallow the costs; my time repairing wheels after all might be worth more than buying some HED3s.
Thoughts and advice?
