I'm getting some Shimano R500 Clinchers next month brand new for £67. (for the pair)

one day i would want to upgrade the wheelset for my peugoet, it just has old single wall things at the moment, quite heavy

look great for the price, look around the same standerd as the rear wheel on my guerciotti

funny how fixed wheels cost more than wheels with gears, just because they are for fixed gears...

That baffles me too, surely a wheel made for gears should be more expensive? And those wheels aren't bad at all Snaple (pinkbike) has a Colnago with them on.

its because fixed gears are cooler i guess, and maybe also because they are more rare than roadbikes

bmx stuff is cheaper because its so popular, 24" bmx stuff is way more exspensive because its more rare, guess its similar

Most fixed wheels are dirt cheap in comparison to most road wheels. Popularity has nothing to do with it.

Thats because most road wheels are higher quality.....But you can get a road wheelset cheaper than a fixed gear wheelset in most cases (assuming its the bottom line wheels)

also more people would buy rode wheels i guess, so they can mass produce them cheaper?

but that would only be the serious riders upgrading, most people who buy fixed wheels are propaly doing a cheap conversion
