If I weren’t racing, or at least trying to regularly keep up with fast riders, and I wasn’t made of money, the last thing I’d be considering is an upgrade from a pretty good wheelset to a super duper wheelset — as an example. I’m guessing that some of those folks could gain as much speed by simply buying an aero jersey.
I, OTOH, dithered for a week plus over a $300 wheelset that I unquestionably needed.
