I absolutely love my new bikes, I just don’t have any money for race wheels… maybe next year. I have a race this coming weekend (Chattanooga) and was wondering which would be the better race wheels - Bontrager Race Lite or Easton Vista SL?
My guess is… doesn’t matter. Anyway, what do you think?
Rather than posting an obnoxiously over-sized photo I have provided this link for a visual aid.
You are correct - doesn’t matter. Probably whichever one is newer, but not brand new, as the bearings will be slightly smoother.
Jordan’s right about the wheel. Personally, I’d go with the Bontrager’s. It’s a solid wheel and the bearings might be a little better. Just spend them and find out.
What you can change and won’t cost you an arm and a leg is the tires. Not sure what your running but could be some free speed… Go with a Michelin “Pro Race - Ironman Edition” or a “Pro Race 2”. Doesn’t matter…there both screamin fast.
Later…
