Yes, upgrading wheels may be the single most cost effective upgrade on a bike you love but otherwise want to improve. You decrease rolling resistance while you increase acceleration and usually less weight.

I'm considering downgrading my wheels somewhat. My road bike has an awesome carbon wheelset. Ultimately we worry about carbon fiber because I've had and ridden the bike for a while and a lot of miles. So I'm researching what would be the lightest, fastest and of course loveliest "standard" wheels.

My LBS has suggested a few but with tubeless tires and I'm not sure I want to go tubeless. While I tend to have few flats but the idea of having to fix a tubeless flat when in a remote location sounds daunting.

Of course there's always Uber at that point.
