Pics of My New Wheels

We rode up Mt Diablo, a nice mosey to the summit. Thom got a couple of good pictures today.

There are a few more pics from the ride in our smugmug gallery.

very nice. why did you get new wheels? sorry - somewhat newbie here

To go faster, 'cause my husband loves me and I'm his favorite thing to spend money on. :D Trophy wives are expensive.

Seriously, they are more aerodynamic race wheels. Scary fast descending. :p

Veronica

those wheels look great! So it was a noticeable difference, eh?
I keep debating race wheels, but don't know if I can justify the expense (I'm not a terribly fast rider).

great shots, BTW!

LOL!

Very spiffy. And a very nice husband!

(Some of the speeds you posted in the other thread...yikes! But I must admit that I'm a chicken.)

Lmao on the DH comment... LOVE IT :D ...those wheels are sweeeeeet... so is the DH too.:cool:

Dura Ace carbons? Gonna google specs to match pics. Hope you have many happy times riding em!:)

Durace 7900 C50s.

Any little downhill and the bike picks up a ton of momentum. I am a pretty quick descender, but I found myself on the brakes a lot more today. You release the brake and the bike moves like a sprinter out of the gate. I think I could have easily hit speeds of 40 - 50 miles an hour if I had been game. Not on a mountain road with two way traffic. :D Now if the road were closed and I could use both lanes...

Cool... I went to the Shimano website and was trying to match em up... nice... yep heard from the lbs when considering carbons sometime ago... it's like eagle feathers on the bike soaring downhill lol.

oooooh... aaaaahhhhhh :p:p

nice stuff. be interesting to read a ride report after a few more miles on them. i take it they are custom built .. or are they factory built?

Factory built.
