Now please, go ride your bike and stop worrying about bike parts. $500 wheels are not going to be a huge upgrade over your stock wheels anyway.
1. Isn't a little experience still experience? I'm just not "wise" with the whole concept. I mean I have the same amount of mileage as someone who has ridden an average of 40 miles a week for 2 years. Wouldn't that qualify as a significant amount of experience?
