Very Nice, Carn't wait till i get some in april!

yep Mavic supply the Shimano set up, so that is all fine. Not sure if the wheels will help with the hills, normal hills are fine, I'm talking about your tougher sharp climbs. Ok So just get the same casset as I have currently, as I will be swapping wheels between riding to work and weekend rides/races etc.

Please indulge me as I am curious, you are asking an awful lot of basic questions for someone who races and sounds as though they have been riding for a while yet at the same time shelling out a lot of money on wheels. So question, what bike do you have / groupset and which races are you doing?

"usually just throw the bike at a guy in a bike shop." i think this is answer

I was asking Simon_m.

I was asking Simon_m.

My guess is this - having read the thread were he mentions gears, wheels, brakes etc.

He classes sportives as races and he doesnt actually race. Its a fair assumption, but i could be wrong.

Especially as he states he struggles on short, sharp climbs.

Here you go, as promised.

Been out on them? Got a bit of a review? Be interesting to see what you think about them.

 

[Simon_m]

Nah not had a chance yet. Hope to when free time, all sorted for Lanzagrotty though.
