Bang for the buck??
You will probably have a rear wheel that is about 330 grams lighter than your old wheel.
330 grams/$330 = 1 gram savings per dollar. $330 is a good deal. about the same price as a new king rear disc hub at full retail.

I am not that much of a fashionista when it comes to bikes but your ride might look a little goofy unless you had an sl on the front as well. They are very distinctive looking. Can you swing a front wheel also?
