What would you upgrade first?
 
First post, first question. Which would you get first if you had $600 to spend and why?
  1. New Wheelset
  2. Power Meter
I currently have 2005 Kysrium SSC SL and no power meter.

Nothing wrong at all with those wheels.

What kind of bike would you be mounting these components?

First, welcome to the forum!

Based on the thought that you are interested in a Power Meter, I would guess training and racing is part of your desire, so I would suggest asking in the Road Racing and/or Triathlon forums for a more targeted response. The Road Racing forum is a subforum of the Road Cycling forum, in case you haven't found it yet.

But, if not, and you are simply interested in power training for personal fitness, the bottom line, is what (if anything) do you find lacking with your current wheels?

An open ended question is fine, but a little bit about what your objectives or expectations are would get you more reasonable responses. ;)

For wheels, do you want racing or training wheels? Are you a climbing specialist or a sprinter? How much do you weigh, and what type of riding do you do? I have no opinions on wheels, but these are the sort of questions I have seen asked when people are seeking opinions on wheels.

Don't they kind of go together? Doesn't the power meter have to be laced onto a rim?

Thanks, I will repost in the road racing forum with some additional information.

Wrap around eye glasses frame
 
Hi, i wear regular precription glasse,nothin fancy here, the wind makes my eyes watery after a 30 mins or so, i have been wearing clear goggle and it works fine, i am just tired of the way it looks and the hassle to remove it just to see the beauty of nature when riding.i am looking for a semi wrap around frame with some padding behind the frame to block some of the wind, they dont do a good job as a reall goggle but i am willing to try. any help will surely appreciated
