    Mmm... Ksyriums...

    Yes... these are known wheels in our house, and much coveted... what we have has to be shared... too expensive to have a set each...

    Like bikerchick says, veeery sweeeet



    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    I hope all this drooling over my wheels doesn't rust them!

    I'm counting down the hours 'til I go pick up the bike!

    Thumbs up I like 'em!

    Well, I didn't get a chance to try the new wheels on my regular hill ride Saturday (had to work), but I really liked them on yesterday's ride out in Davis. It was flat with just a few small hills. What I mostly noticed was that starting up was quicker, and they felt a lot firmer. I stood up several time in my hardest gears and felt completely stable and solid. I'm not sure if I was any faster on the flats, because I had never done that ride before. Tonight or tomorrow night I'll try them on the hills. I'm quite pleased, and I'm looking forward to "growing into" them as a cyclist!

    if you have a windy day.... let us know how they are in a crosswind! i know i get blown around with the wheels i currenlty have (but we get STRONG winds in the desert!) so i avoid thick bladed wheels like the plague.. even though they are VERY pretty!!!!!!!
