My current cassette on my CX bike is 11-26 and there are spots on some CX courses where I *almost* make it to the top of a hill before I simply cannot mash the crank around any further. Really sucks dismounting just a couple of yards from the top (one of these days I'll actually drop my extra 25#s and this will be less of an issue).

What's your latest upgrade?
How do you like the rims so far? Do they live up to the advertised claims about better handling and smoother riding (due to the resulting rounder tire profile and lower needed tire PSI)?
