I have heard a lot of good things about Reynold stratus DV wheels...... seems to be on of the most used wheels on the race scene (except for Zipp, but these are acutally durable)
yea. my wheels will be worth more than my frame. my bike is worth $1750cdn and my wheels will cost me at the most $1400. Are they actually going to make a big difference if i go for the ksyrium es? i am looking for clincher carbon wheels. i guess that can erase some of the other wheels i listed above. my goal is to buy and race on an excellent wheelset this year with my current bike. i am hoping to upgrade to a lighter aluminum road bike, the cervelo soloist team. check out my other thread if u wanna chat about that one. as for the wheels, i live in canada so that sort of limits me when it comes to handbuilt wheels and some companies like reynolds, rolf, etc..
