I've been riding regularly now for 18 months, with focused try to increase the FTP training over the last few months. In June of last year I bought my bike, a Ridley Fenix, spending on a carbon frame and ultegra components. The bike still has the stock wheelset, Fulcrum 7.
Now that I'm set to keep on with the cycling, I think I'd like to upgrade the wheelset but after trying to figure out a lot on my own through the internet, I'm pretty much lost. I'm not looking to race this thing in a tri, but I am looking to continue going for consistent 60-70 mile weekend rides and I live in Marin County so my rides are always hilly and I weigh 155.
I think I need a wheelset that's lighter than what I have since I go up and down a lot and I don't want to break the bank, but other than that I don't really know where to start.
Help?
Aero is more important than weight for going faster, but you are in luck. I brought this up in another thread here on the HED JET 6+ wheelset being sold for ~$800. You really can't beat the wheelset to begin with but for the price it is even more incredible. It is as light as other carbon similar depth aero wheels and much lighter than other aluminum wheels of the same depth.
