Complete newbie to building fixed, but need some wheels for my lemond fillmore are these any good, and what's the difference between Planet X Model A tubular track wheels and the out of stock On-One 120mm spaced track wheels?

should i get these or look else where?

Not ready yet to build my own :(

It'd be a brave man who rode tubs around London at the moment - the streets are covered with sharp, pointed, crap.

Tubular use tubular tyres (tubs/sew ups) not great for the road. You'd be better off with clincher rims, which the standard on one track are. Unless this is for the track, then tubs are good.

Ive got the On-one clinchers and they seem to be a decent set of wheels. They are sturdy and have put up with my city cycling so far.

The caveat to this is that I am a newbie too...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
