    Cheapest Pro-lite Braccianos I've seen for a while

    Chainreaction are clearing out their Pro-lite kit since their trade side (hotlines) are no longer the pro-lite distributors. They have some Bracciano wheels down to £218 but just for today.

    For the money I can't think of a wheel that comes close.
    27mm rim
    bladed spokes
    hardened alloy freehub
    UNDER 1500g!!!!

    They are Mavic Ksyrium SL weight, more aero and a quarter the price. We have used 2 sets for 4 years and only ever broke 2 spokes when I was heavier...and Pro-lite sent me replacements by Airmail so can't fault that!
    As for a new supplier in the UK, there is one but not made public yet so no fear of never getting parts!

    No chance, I have a small bike shop, not taking on importing and marketing that a brand like that needs!! Plus I need a bigger showroom as it is!!

    Maybe you should try importing a few sets yourself.... looks like an open market

    To be honest it's not worth the hassles, I can get Pro-lite, 4za, FSA, Shimano, Vision, American Classic, Campag, ITM plus any amount of handbuilt Mavic/Shimano kit...that will do for a little sole trader in SW Scotland! But as for those Braccianos....they are a bargain!

    And that's rotational weight...where it MATTERS most...and they are fairly aero too.
