Finally ordered some new wheels for my Rossin build. Instead of the American Classic / Aerohead custom set I was gonna build, I went with some Mike Garcia Aerohead / SpeedCific wheels. The wheels should come in around 1530g, which is more than the projected 1400 of the build I was thinking of, yet much cheaper. The value of good wheels was hit home as I as went down Bathurst today on a pair of Xero XSR-4s, which I haven't used in 2 years. Brake shudder and crappy hubs quickly turn any ride into sketchy business; at least the Mavic/DT 105 wheels will go back on that bike tonight, once the hubs have been greased.

Oh... Maxxis tires ==
