Wheels - question

[indysteel]

What's the narrowest tire you can run on your LHT wheels? Can you even run those on the Gunnar Sport you have in mind?

You will notice some difference if you were to put skinnier tires on your current wheel set, but you'll notice a heck of a lot more if you were to get a set of handbuilt 650 ccs. There is a world of difference between my handbuilts and the stock pair of Mavics that came with my bike. Of course, they weren't cheap either. I'm not sure how much difference you'd feel between your current wheels and a stock factory-built set that's on the lower end of cost.

I will say this. I find swapping out wheels and/or tires between bikes to be a PITA. If I could afford a dedicated set of wheels, that's the way I would go. But the first thing you need to resolve is whether you can even run the 26s on the Gunnar.
