hi all -
I'm on a limited budget for bike parts and am interested in upgrading my wheelsets for 2003.
However, I'm not sure if it'd be better (more productive) to invest in a Powertap wheelset or to get
a deep-dish wheelset such as a set of Cosmics.
This is a great site for opinions, so I was wondering if you have an opinion on this - buying a
powertap wheelset (for training only I guess) vs buying a set of Cosmic Carbons (or similar, for
racing only.) I'm a decent cat 3, and am hoping to upgrade in either '03 or '04, but will probably
only be racing about 20-25 times in 2003..
I currently race on either Rolf Vector Pros or Spynergy's (Spox + RevXs)- all are in decent shape,
but are a bit beat up so I'm thinking of selling two of these sets and buying another..
Do the benefits of training with wattages outweigh the benefits of a set of really fast race wheels?
(fyi- I train regularly using trainingbible.com (which has power inputs) and am no too heavy= 5'10",
155lbs.. so wouldnt pound on the wheels..)
thanks for any serious input~
