To go faster, 'cause my husband loves me and I'm his favorite thing to spend money on.Trophy wives are expensive.
Seriously, they are more aerodynamic race wheels. Scary fast descending.

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.)

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. Now if the road were closed and I could use both lanes...
