Mavic ksyrium wheels, conti gran prix tires, easton ec90 bar, speedplay pedals (steel spindle) and fsa team issue cranks work great for me.

I've hit more than one hole, and the Mavics have stayed remarkable true, one time the noise was so loud I pulled over and started looking for cracks in the fork and headtube.

I do get a little creaking out of the handlebar when I get out of the saddle

The pedals are the easiest I've ever used. Much love for the speedplays

When I really start to hammer I flex the BB & cranks enough to get chain rub on the -F- derailluer, but thats not unusual.
