I know going with the low-price leader is never the best idea, but with a new baby, I'm just trying to get an upgrade over my stock wheels under $400 or so; this is for a Specialized Allez that I just use for touring and a few sprint/olympic duathlons each year. Purchasing a separate TT/tri bike next year, so I just wanted a little boost on my Specialized this year and for some climbing-heavy duathlons.
