Still very impressed with this wheel and will continue to test ride as much as I can over the next week while I have them.
Good question. That made me think about something i hadnt yet.Thanks
I think you are right to say you don't know now. Wouldn't a conclusion about still wanting lighter weight be premature. You haven't tested the light wheels Jude is likely planning for you. You may find that lighter just can't perform as well as heavier, or maybe it can. Too early to say. I think you really have to leave such questions put by contributors to the forum unanswered for now in the spirit of the experiment. BTW, just so you know, I am a wheel weight weenie. I build for myself and ride 1,250 gram wheels exclusively. So I am not saying go heavier, but rather wait until it is over. I want to know the final conclusion too! But while you are thinking all this over, would you still be partial to light wheels if you learned you could actually feel an unacttractive difference in them? Hmmm.
