Felt TTR Wheels Can't Post
Does anyone know roughly what the Felt TTR wheelset retails for?

Also anyone know the wheel weights?


Are there any other similar wheels (40mm aluminium rim,well priced) worth considering?
Thanks

close is the american classic 420. they're about 200g lighter.

they are probably a lot more expensive, though, sitting at $1000.

you'd be better off spending money on a carbon wheelset instead at that price point.

Don't know the weights, but I know I don't like the wheels. They are heavy. At this point I would trade them for a decent road set.

Thanks for the info.

Was it mainly just the weight you didn't like?

I'm looking for an aero/semiaero wheelset but anything carbon is currently beyond my budget

I had a pair that came with my bike and liked them pretty well. Ended up selling them because I just didn't need them.

Knowing what they go for used (figure $350-450 from what I've seen), you might want to try to go that route. Pretty good wheels for that price.

AFAIK their first shipment already sold out, but the next batch should be available quite soon.

I have TTR Wheels on S22 and I like them. I have no issue with the weight, they are lightly than most wheels that come stock on 3-4k bikes(i.e Orbea and Specialized that come with Mavic Aksium) They are slightly "deeper" than the 420s that were mentioned. I have heard the pricepoint was in the $700.00 price point
