Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wheelset?
What kind of wheels should I be looking at for a significant upgrade (mostly thinking of lighter weight) compared to Alex AT 470 ?

I'm completely lost knowing where to look how estimate weights online, and such.

Would I be able to see any significant weight differences with a few hundred dollars?

(no carbon please, just aluminum!)

thanks!

Ride them until you either break them, or have an exact and specific goal for replacing them.
