State Bicycle Co. Black Label Series v3 Wheel Set
Best performance upgrade for budget-conscious fixed-gear and urban cyclists.
These wheels offer a nimble, springy ride that punches well above its weight for daily commuting or track use. While the mid-profile rims look sharp and soak up road chatter, be prepared to check spoke tension out of the box and accept that the painted braking surface will eventually show its age.
