Hey guys,
Thanks to those who helped with my original bike dilemma. Now I am looking at whether wheels in my budget will help me with my goals.
I currently have Bontrager Race wheels that came on the Trek 4.5 Madone (and others I assume). With 25% at Nashbar for wheels and tires today I am thinking about buying another set to help with flat speed. My bike is not very light and I am not worrying a lot about it since I'm still losing weight from myself first haha. But this has me leaning more toward a cheap aero wheel such as the Vuelta 37mm. I weigh 173lbs currently and should continue to drop into the low 160s, so I don't think I need crazy sturdy wheels, but I am still learning here.
Any advice or information on whether wheels like this will actually improve my flat speed is appreciated. Thanks!
