I think it's odd that this type of thred doesn't seem to take into account wheelsets as much as I think it would/should. Maybe my weight has something to do with it. I can imagine a sub 175 lb rider would feel a bit less in wheel set comparisons as a guy at 250 lbs. So it would be great to hear from some who has had a chance to compare the Tarmac and Roubaix with same/different wheel sets. I have several very nice bikes and even more wheelsets. I also own both an S-Works Tarmac and S-Works Roubaix and I have ridden them ,,, as well as my other bikes and interchange wheelsets/rubber to see the cause and effect.
For me at least, I can't really talk about ride quality without adding that piece into the conversation as well. I will say at 240-250 lbs maybe the hoops and rubber is a bigger deal for a clyde. I'm just courious as to why I seem to not hear this in this type of thread???
