Well, if you are anticipating higher speeds with the new wheels (and new wheel size), you might want to upgrade your brake calipers, but check it out, first, you might be fine.
Yeah. I went for comfort with the Brooks by opting for the Pro S. I got a "barely used" (looked brand new) for about 75 bucks from a guy in France on Ebay.
Are these bikes new to you?
