"Lighter wheels are like the SSDs of cycling: biggest bang-for-the-buck."
Completely wrong. Biggest bang for the buck is low CRR tires, then skinsuits, then, I don't know, maybe helmets. Then 100 other things, then light wheels.
- mikeklaas 10y agoCompletely agreed. Tires a neglected by most cyclist. It is shocking how many people buy a nice bike and keep the stock tires, or worse, slap on conti gator-skins.
- panglott 10y agoGator skins are heavy, but they do protect you from punctures on the road.

For a crit, road race, and generally just riding around, I'll take a nice set of wheels before squeezing myself into a sausage casing.
