I recently purchased two aerospoke rims. I purchased the front wheel first and after having the stocked rim switched out, I noticed the difference immediate. The bike took off faster and coasted longer. I came back to the bike shop the next day and purchased the rear wheel. I have a 21 speed road bike and after having the stocked rear wheel switched out for the aerospoke, I immediately went for a 17 mile bike ride. And I have to say that the money for the rims were well spent. The ride was much easier and I had no problems taking off. I am not a racier and I used mountain bikes my whole life. I recently purchased a road bike for the first time which is easier to ride around Chicago, but since switching to aerospoke rims, the ride has become a lot easier.


So my advice would be make sure your bike seat height is adjusted correctly along with the handle bars and make sure the gears are tight. I cannot speak on how aerospoke rims work on fixie's, but on my 21 speed road bike, they're perfect.
