wow...that sorta doesn't seem worth $2K. hmmm...i'll have to think about this before selling off more cameras and photography equipment to buy bike stuff! lol
Don't know about you, but a couple of tenths of a MPH is kind of a big deal to me in certain situations. Gaining .5mph, in the right wind conditions, is feasible.
Something I don't think you're taking into account is the depth of the rims, and the fact that a lot of lighter wheels out there have deep carbon rims. Deeper rims are generally what makes a wheel faster (gross generalization, obviously).
