Changing wheels and tyres for the summer
Hi All
Having just bought a Specialized Tricross Sport 2010 I would like to change the wheels (Alex ACE-19 622x17 6061H) and tyres ( Specialized Borough Pro, 700x32c wire bead 60TPI) to something a bit quicker. I like Mavic wheels personally but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I like Velocity rims myself. For commuting their Deep V or Dyad rims are plenty tough. For my money Velocity rims seem to be a better value than Mavic and better quality.
As far as tires go, I am running Vittoria Randonneurs. I like these better than the various incarnations of the Schwalbe Marathon. IMHO, the Vittoria rolls faster, offers as much protection, and is cheaper. Oh and they come in white as well as black if aesthetics mean anything to you.
