instead of investing in another light Wheelset she found a barely used 2017 Trek carbon Domane with 105 11 speed on Craigslist. She test rode it and said it rode nice and she liked it.
The trouble started when we began riding our normal route. We don’t have cycle computers on our bikes but she could quickly tell now we’re riding slower. Her new bike has Bontrager T/R wheels. A fellow rider recommended Vuelta Corsa rims to make it a little faster.
Any suggestions?
