Wheelset upgrade from Shimano R500
Quote | Reply
Have a 2012 Orbea Ordu with an R500 wheelset. Although seemingly robust they are a bit on the heavier side (i believe 1900g). Is a $5-600 budget enough to make a difference with a new wheelset? Or should i just stop eating donuts?

Full disclosure: bought the bike used for $1k so it's really hard to justify spending the same on wheels. Is that mindset somewhat illogical?

I put $1500 Roval CL50's on my $1000 Cervelo, and they didn't seem to make much difference. But then I put the stock Shimano R500's on the 51 year old, steel road bike, that I train on... now that made a HUGE difference.
