Just finished my 1st season which included 2 sprints (San Dimas) & 2 Olympics (Pendleton, LA Tri). LBS recommends rebuilding my wheels as I have broken several spokes (replaced with non-matching non bladed- thats all i had in short time) and nipples are stripping out frequently (dont really understand that one). Anyway, I have a list of upgrades in mind for next season. Any input would be appreciated. Here is my current set up:
Cervelo Soloist aluminum 2003 (bought used from craigslist)
Full ultegra/ cervelo brakes
syntace clip ons (too short for me)
stock ritchie wheel set
Im thinking the following upgrades:
rebuild stock wheels- spokes & nipples 9 maybe change to powertap hub for training)
hed aerobars with 3rd brake lever
invest in race wheels zipp 808?
any advice appreciated especially for wheels, im about 195 lbs down from 215 a year ago. I realize that my biggest upgrade needs to be my fitness so that is also in current daily progress. Ideally i want to be around 175-180lbs.
