Wheels came today. Much faster than anticipated. Superior Lite - Race Wheels.
1550 grams total w/o skewers. Should be a nice addition to the Allez or the Giant.

Nah, I am keeping the Spinergys. Those wheels ride awesome, and will be great backup race wheels. I am a little worried about going tubular with these new Zipps as well. I am thinking of making them my new training wheels.

They have a no fault replacement program. I am not sure how it works, but they basically give you a good deal on some new Spinergys when you send them in. I wonder if it is less than you can get them on ebay for. There is a set of FCTs on there right now for less than a grand right now. I really do like the way my FCCs ride.

Anyone have experience with these guys?
My bike has hydraulic disc brakes so supposedly drop bars aren't an option. But I can make anything work - usually.

I have seen hydraulic disc brakes on some cyclocross bikes. How is it Not an option?

The reservoir would be in an awkward position and the cable would be sticking almost straight up.
However, I have no problem upgrading the brakes (keeping hydraulics) and replacing the bars with a cyclocross drop setup. I actually wouldn't mind replacing the entire front end (including brakes) for a lightweight cyclocross setup.

Ordered a pair of Time RXS Carbon pedals. I liked my LOOK Keo Classics well enough, but hated the lifespan of the cleats.

They look like they are already laced up? Are you planning on taking them apart and rebuilding them?
