Wanted Wheels for 1998 Cannondale Super V 500 (small)

[Debiker]

I still love riding my Super V, but I would like to replace the original wheels with a lighter set. Is there a brand that would be best compatible with my bike? Also, is it possible to retrofit with disc brakes? I am not a mechanic. Thank you for your time and thoughts on this.

Does it have disc tabs? I think not as my F2000 didn't IIRC. If no tabs then you cannot fit discs easily.

The original wheels will be lighter than modern ones as they have fewer spokes but make up for it with heavier rims. It's hard to get decent 26" rim brake wheels now.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Your comments are similar to what I have been told by a family member; when I found this forum, I knew I would be able to obtain more detailed opinions. Thanks again!
