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

They are rather pricey. Get Spinergy Stealth, Soul S4.0, Soul CA5.0, or the H Plus Son SL42 laced to AM Classic hubs from ProWheelbuilder.com

I love them. Stiff and fast but a great ride quality. They make a big difference on the ride. I was hesitant in selling them, but trying to free up money to buy more bike stuff! I usually swap wheels every 1000 miles or so.
