check out neuvations. I just got a pair of R28 SL5s and they're about the same weight as your current wheels. Standing up on hills and sprinting hasn't produced any whippy feelings.

Before you blow some money on new wheels, check your bearings and spoke tension. If there's play in the bearings, it could feel the same as "flimsy" wheels. Low spoke tension could also make a difference.

Thanks ... I'll take a look at the tension and bearings.

And for the record, I had one of my better throws and fell just short of pulling a "Barlevav."
