Of course- especially in longer rides, previous ride was a Chromoly steel frame and the aluminum with the carbon front fork does have some different feel to it. Do not want a set of wheels that will transmit every little bump and jolt of the road.

Still reading reviews and watching for sales - thinking a 28 spoke rear wheel and 24 spoke front would be a good compromise over the 2 other choices- 32 spoke Mavic or similar beefier or the other extreme- 20 or 24 spoke rear and 18 or 20 spoke front which while lighter in most cases seem to be to extreme.
