I've been riding a mountain bike all my life and just purchased a Specialized Roubaix Comp to compete in a up coming team Triathlon. I'm already thinking about the first up grade actually the second I want a new Saddle first. My question is could I get a decent set of wheels in the $500-$600 dollar range that are much better then the Shimano WH-560's that came on the Bike?

Absolutely. Check Ebay for some really good deals. You may have to be patient to find the wheels you want, but there are hundreds of sets to choose from in your price range: Zipp, Hed, Bontrager, Ritchey, Mavic, Rolf, Cane Creek, etc., etc. In fact, Trek Superstore has BRAND NEW Bontrager Race X Lite Aero wheels on sale for $450 a set.

I hav only been biking for a year but one thing I have learned is that wheels make a huge difference. I upgraged my wheels and it feels like a totally different bike....stiffer in my case but it was a big difference.
