first impressions of new wheels (What else should I be looking for)
ok so I got my new boyd vitesse 30mm wheel today and just got back form a 25 mile ride with some good hills.
Here are my first impressions:
-since I have been sick for the past week and a half I haven't ridden at all so the first 5 miles, I COULDN'T TELL A DIFFERENCE! I started thinking I just blew $500 just to make my bike look nicer. After focusing in on the feel of the wheels I started to feel the aerodynamics while going down hills. Defenitly felt the physics while on the flats as well. Since the day i purchased the wheels, I had the impression that the biggest difference would be in climbing but that was the least I felt, though I did feel it to be a little easier.
So the changes I felt:
-able to keep a straighter line/maintain higher speed
-faster descents down hills
-climbing hills were a little easier
Is there anything else that I should specifically be noticing or looking for?
