New Wheels
 
I just ordered new wheels, I will post more when they come in.
ROL Wheels Race SL's

Hope I did good.

Nothing you can do will show more improvement than a good set of wheels.

Those are light! Not familiar with ROL but they look very nice.
I put a 24 - paired spoke Velocity Thracian on the front of my long wheelbase 'bent but am hesitant to match it on the rear - the weight distribution is heavily to the rear and I am no lightweight. Leaning towards a similar Velocity wheel with 36 spokes.

These are more in the middle range of performance wheels as far as weight goes. Look like a good value wheel.

A little heavier, but otherwise on par with the Velocity A23 Pro Build wheels I just bought. Should be a nice wheel. Enjoy!

FWIW, the Sapim CX-Ray spokes are squirrel shredders for sure. I'm having to be careful with my knuckles when I hang the bike up after a ride. Those babies are sharp!

Those look nice! So glad you found some you liked. :)

FIFY

I assume you are not a Clydesdale! They do look nice, which is vital!

Okay ,

they are being shipped tomorrow so a few more days I should get them.

I am not a clydesdale and these will be fine as far as weight goes. I know these were/are not the lightest wheels out there but they are an improvement and were within my price range. I guess I could have gone higher but saving a few bucks is not all that bad.
My next question, or thought, is do I get a new cassette or just swap the old one over?
Thinking that I have no issues with what I have now, 12-25, I think I will just swap it over.
I will post pictures when I get them.
