    Ah, but does she have a disc wheel?

    My experience is over 20 years old, but I couldn't BELIEVE the difference in power transfer between a (borrowed) Hed disc wheel versus my very nice (for their time) roadrace wheels.* Just unbelievable. Solid power to the ground. I had no idea how much my rims and/or spokes were flexing.




    *Speaking of, anybody building up a vintage race bike want to make me an offer? Saavedra aero tubie rims (I forget the spoke count now) and yellow American Classic hubs circa 1987. They're too nice to junk but too dated to be usable as race gear, and I'm never going to ride tubies again.
