I'm finally building up a 10 speed bike and want to put some faster wheels on it. Currently I race on Ksyrium Elites - which have served me well but obviously not a fast wheel.
Most of the faster guys in the two clubs I race with have Carbon Aero wheels.
Much as I begrudge having to pay for them(and I don't like the look of any of them) I'm thinking that may be the way I have to go.
Would they really give me much of a speed benefit? A friend with some Cosmic Carbons says he really notices the difference over his American Classic 420s(rear hub crapped out - as expected ).
Would I? They're his pride and joy so I dare not ask if I can borrow them for a ride.
What are some alternatives?
Your thoughts are appreciated
