my 2 cents

* Smoothish tires that can go to 80psi or above will make a huge differrence something like this WTB Slick Flatguard Sport Tire - Performance Exclusive - Mountain Bike Tires

* pedals...get ones that you can use with any shoes or with spd clipless in in the future (will save you money) Forté Campus Pedals - Bike Pedals / Cleats

* racks simple I like to add wald folding baskets TransIt TS-1 Rear Rack - Bike Racks

* bottle cage..... metal, cheap and simple Forté Terra Lite Aluminum Cage - Bottle Cages

Thanks.

why are you thinking about new wheels? if you really need them getting a set online is probably cheapest or you can learn to rebuild them or talk to Tahn at silva cycles Silva Cycles

I have chunks missing from the divider between the cassette and spokes on my rear wheel.
