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

Wheel Help..

I have a carbon six cannondale and looking for a new wheel set. I am 220 lbs which makes me a bigger guy and ride about 30 miles a day ( some days more some days less ) so was looking at some input from the helpers here on the forum. I am looking for a medium priced wheelset would prefer not to spend 3000K dollars so any options I could start to research, thanks

I received my set of November RFSC 58s a couple weeks ago and am super happy. Good feel, super responsive, and they don't seem to want to slow down!

I received my soul 3.0SL wheels. Great wheels! Great price and pretty fast shipment (about 1.5 weeks) The package leaves a little to be desired, but I'm not riding the packing material.
Very light and a great buy IMHO. You should search on the forum and you'll find all sorts of opinions.
