Congrats on the upgrade E.
I would hang the rear wheel instead... Less stress on the headset and fork IMHO.

Nice Wheelset E! You and Levi are gonna fly climbing the BM during grandfondo.  Where's the old wheelset? I'll take any donations! LOL!  @prance and KingFish2 - it was almost a good game until we lost again. But definitely much better effort for our Knicks! |

Last time I rode my bike was at ES.
E' bike looks good with the new wheelset. You will surely notice a slight change in handling specially when turning or change in direction...you will get used to it. The freewheel sound is going to be music to your ears. The rear hub will get louder by the end of the day when break-in period ends.

@bigb. I feel for you bro, it was 6 weeks for myself imagine that.  merlin. Thank you and yes it was really different but what i noticed was its easier to pedal at high speeds and easier to maintain the speed even with a headwind and crosswinds. ;D ;D The free wheeling sound was louder than i expected, i was used to my dura ace wheels which is super quite. Is it the same maker with the sram hubs? b/c it was as loud as the sram wheel set that BigB used to have. Btw my first ride was really hard was suffering in the later part, Paul, Andrew and mick got separated from us when mick got a flat tire near the wall. I continued with Paul with his spanish crew. Paul bailed out after 35 miles i think. It was a good day riding, man i'm out of shape 5 lbs heavier right now.  |

Zipp hubs are not the same as SRAM. Zipp makes them in house, they are much like an I9 hubs but with only 3-prawls intead of 6!
SRAM rear cogs are noisy to begin with. LOL.

Wow Levi you're such a mechanic! Is that a ceramic bearing?

No. Not a ceramic bearing yet. I don't think we need it, because it is so smooth!
