I am a heavy rider (265 at the moment) but expecting for my weight to go down over the next year or so. I had bariatric surgery in Feb 2009 and have lost 85 lbs since then. My weight loss has slowed down so I am now at the point of wanting to add more exercise - this is my reason for looking to get a bike again.
How do these two wheelsets compare? These are the wheels that come on the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 4 or 5 which I am leaning towards at this point.
I test rode 3 different "endurance" road bikes (Specialized Secteur Comp, Fisher Rail Super and the Cannondale Synapse 5). I liked the Cannondale the best and am thinking of spending the extra money for a carbon model - mainly for the expected smoother ride quality. I am also going to try to find a Felt Z85 or Z5 to test ride.
Would appreciate any comments on the wheelsets and the bike choice in general. Happy to consider other options if I can find them to test ride in NJ.
Thanks!
