Hi, i'm new to the forum and road bicycling (4 month) I run, mtn. bike and go to the gym 3 days a week. I taken up road cycling do to injuries while running.
I have a 2010 Cannondale Synapse carbon with 105 group. The stock wheels (Shimano RS10) flex's when I pedal standing (front wheel) and would like to replace them.
I'm 45 weigh 175 lbs. and my goals are to do a couple of century's and duathlons and and ride with my local club a couple days a week.
The wheels that I'm looking at now are Mavic open pro, DT Swiss RR415 both with Ultegra 6700 hubs made at Bicycle wheel warehouse also considering the DT RR585 with the same set up (is the 585 extra weight a good trade off for the kind of riding I'm doing).
I am open to other bands but I'm looking for advice on these wheels and any others in the $400-$600 range.
Thanks for all advice
One other newbie ? what's the difference between a tubular and clincher ??
