My twin brother and I are mechanical engineers. After getting into triathlon a few years ago I was blown away by how expensive race wheels were. I've always thought there must be a cheaper way to offer quality race wheels. For the last few months we have been putting together a business plan, designing wheels on paper, building a website etc.
We are confident that we can bring 60mm, 90mm and disc race wheels to market for $249 for a front wheel and 299 for a rear wheel. We also have plans to offer an "aero arsenal" that will allow athletes to by 3, 4, or 5 race wheels for a discounted price.
Tell me if you think there is a place in the market for these wheels before I spend some serious cash. For the record, the wheels's aero numbers will compete with the more expensive competitors.
Thanks and please be very honest.
