Message: I picked up a Bontager Aero Select Wheelset that I am not really going to use. I am hoping to sell them on ebay or something and am not sure how to price them or anything. A buddy gave me a cassette to put on them. I rode them today and they ride well, but I want to upgrade my current mavic wheels on my TT bike to carbon, and need to feed the kitty.

Message: I can tell you from experience that Bontrager wheels don't command much on ebay especially lower grade ones like the select line. Brand new they normally retail for around 275 range. If you really want to get rid of them what I would do is go to ebay and see if anyone else is selling them and put yours a little cheaper. Bontrager wheels have had all kinds of warranty issues so a lot of people are staying away from them or waiting to get them at a huge discount. You may realize it isn't worth your time as shipping is very expensive on wheels too usually about 60 bucks to get them across the US (make sure you think about that). You may want to just use them as spare wheels or something to ride in the rain. They are a heavy wheel some good to train on and then go to a nice light wheel on race day.
