Time for an upgrade. These were my original stock Bontrager Race wheels.
After a few chain drops and sucks the rear spokes were pretty torn up, almost ready to snap.
Upgraded to the
Bontrager Race X Lites. Stiffer (more responsive and efficient), more aerodynamic, lighter by 300 grams, more stable in cross winds, and faster. The web site says: "
Flangeless Swiss made hubs give these wheels some serious sex appeal as well as strength."
Also got some new Continental 4000 tires.
Doesn't it look

Dammm those are some Sexy Wheels.. I like my women like I like my wheels... Fast, Responsive, and Easy to roll...
No comment on that comment! LOL
So what is the verdict? I was in a SUV vs bike, broke my collarbone and am in the market while I heal. Worth the upgrade? I was very happy with the races that I had--2 years and maybe 5000 miles.
It looks really incredible. Rollers looks incredible and powerful.
