This thread is meant to be about schwag? I have something to say about wheels.

Wheels are by far the biggest determining factor on ride comfort. After 2 months of exclusively riding the Ti on flexy wheels, today I got out the carbon on new stiff light wheels. The stiffness of the wheels turned a plush riding bike into an arse battering pneumatic drill of a bike. Holy moly, it was like I was back on a steel frame. This when I had lowere pressure to 110/100 back/front from previous 120/110. Ouch. They did make my climbing unbelievably faster. This one hill I would slow grind my way up normally, today I got up in less than half the time and I kept waiting for the momentum to run out but it never did. the top just appeared before I knew what was happening.


Oh and 105 5600 rocks. It's very nearly as good as the ultegra 6700
