So I switched up the phasing a little bit. I randomly found the exact wheelset I was looking for, the Reynolds Assault Clincher, on Craigslist for a steal. Not only are they new out of the box, but they were purchased from a woman in Greenlake. She decided to get some other rediculously expensive wheels and give up my dream wheels for a sale! Look online and you'll probably have a hard time finding a bad review of these wheels. They are 46mm deep so they will do very well in the flats where aerodynamics are important, but they are still just over 1500g in weight. The low weight and deep cross section will translate into good acceleration and stiffness for climbs as well. I cannot wait to get these out on the road!Saturday, March 6, 2010

Looking good man...it's gonna be a good feeling once you start to fly in that thing. I'm guessing you're putting a new Ultegra system onto that bad boy. Can't wait to see the final result.
ReplyDeleteHey Ty -
ReplyDeleteActually I'm going full SRAM Red on this build. Red is SRAM's equivalent to Dura Ace. I have almost all the components, but I need to update the site. See ya - Jeff
