Useful Tips When Buying cycling wheels

If you're buying wheels intended for a specific competitive event, you first need to be aware of any restrictions provided by the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale). For instance, the UCI provides a detailed list of specific types of wheels allowed for mass start competitions. Therefore, you should first check whether your choice conforms to the applicable requirements.

In other instances, you may want a wheel for use in both competitive, extreme riding conditions as well as daily use. Versatile wheels would be the best choice, since they can be easily upgraded from daily to competitive use. However, you should always check that whatever wheel you choose is appropriate to the riding conditions in which you intend to use carbon bike wheels.
