In any case wheels are wheels, although obviously you need to get a disc wheelset to go on a disc brake bike, and make sure it is 11-speed compatible (not an issue with most current wheels but something to consider if you buy used or NOS).

It was a discussion we had for sure...Have had the same discussion with all of my bikes aside the Langster. This is the first bike season I have continued to lift heavily so that may be a contributing factor...Not sure.
