But also, I like the idea of having a couple compatible wheels with different size tires to swap around based on riding conditions. That's kind of the plan once I get these sorted. One set of 23s for smooth, fast road riding and a set of 28s for some of the rougher roads around here. Just a thought anyway.
You might want to look into the freehub availability, since
Kontact 's link shows "out of stock."
If you can't get the Shimano freehub, you might as well return the wheels.
