Fortunately I feel well-versed on this topic, largely due to the help of one SadieKate, who is a walking encyclopedia on gearing. Madame, thank you very much! Wheels are a different story. (I'm referring to my lack of knowledge, not SK's.) Wheels are just the big round things that decorate the ends of the bike. Now I'm reading about wheels.
Ah, shucks. Thanks, ma'am. Your can read my thread over on Serotta about the Carmina crank if you really want to make your head swim.

Next to the frame, wheels are the next most important choice for ride quality. Consider carefully, especially since you're a lightweight (no pun intended here).
