Subject: RE: Forte vs. MavicBe wary of Performance/Nashbar (they're the same company ) "sales." Those Forte wheels have been on sale for that price for over 6 months.
I'm not saying they're not good wheels, but the "deal" you're getting is not that great. The Fortes were never $270.
If I was purchasing, I would have gone with Mavic, due to past good experience, plus I'm a bigger guy too (6'2", 220lbs ).
I know you've already made your purchase, but sometimes Excel Sports (excelsports.com ) has some screaming deals on last year's wheels.
