Here's how not to have too many wheelsets: A pickup truck plowed into me a couple of months ago as I was riding on the Palos Verdes Peninsula (an awesome location for cycling in the Los Angels area). The crash ruined the front wheel of a super lightweight set of wheels I'd purchased for my own Émonda. Luckily for me, no broken bones. The Émonda didn't fare so well.

I was on Palos Verdes Drive North and I'd Just crossed Colt Road when the driver of the pickup truck at the stop sign at Colt turned right, hitting me from the right, rear.

I just pulled the trigger on a set of 454's today. I was on the fence until I managed to wrangle out a pretty sweet deal that gave me no choice. Still expensive by any measure but got $600.00 off the list price. I should have them by Wednesday. I know they'll be right at home on my Dogma. At least I'll look fast.

Tony if you see my picture above i weigh just about 151lbs max. 8 years ago i was 265+ lbs and with a big time WANT TO and DESIRE I shed 115 plus lbs in just about 7 months with nothing but good old fashion discipline. By the way I am 63 years old now and when i started my "NEW LIFE STYLE" I was 55.5 years old. How big is your "WANT TO"..? it can be done as i did it.. NOPE no stomach stapling or what ever they call that just a huge desire..Went from 44 trousers to 31's..Its not for the faint at heart or those whom would not want to change the life for the better..

Not yet They're supposed to be arriving on Wed. 5/3. I have to admit it's a bit like a kid waiting for Christmas. I'll post pix when I get them. Just cleaned up the bike and serviced the headset so she's good to go for the inaugural ride and photo shoot.

First of all how did the 454's feel? Was there any noticeable difference with the cognition hubs?
Next question, how many sets of wheels do you have? BTW the Reynolds look sweet.

Some of those wheels look like they'd be a little iffy in a crosswind...
