OMFG - Just been watching the world championship time trial and Cancellera was just awesome - totally blitzed everybody.And poor old Wiggo - challenging for 3rd and had a mechanical problem - ?something went wrong with his gear cabling.
Collected my new wheels today, and have been out for a quick ride this afternoon. Based on this I can firmly say that I for one will not buy any expensive 'super-light' factory-made wheels again. The cheaper factory wheels are great for what they are, but hand-built to your own spec is definately the way to go if you are investing in a really good pair of wheels.What I've ended up with is a pair of wheels that weigh well under 1400 grams for the pair, that are super stiff and quick (Ambrosio Chrono rims, DT Swiss aerolight spokes, Tune Hubs and Tufo S3 tubs), and cost a third of anything made in a factory that comes anywhere near in quality or performance. They look the business on the bike too (they make the whole bike look skinny!), and you can tell the wheel builder exactly how you want them laced so they perform exactly how you want. Its taken a while to get them, but well worth the wait.
