Well. The new wheels seem to climb well. That’s good. Though the sound - both from the i9 hub freewheeling and just General crabon on the road might take some getting used to.

went to two performances on Blk friday for wheels. one was "effected" store aka might close so couldn't match their own web prices, just 30% off MSRP. They sent me to another shop 40 miles away, they had two wheelset. Both there hanging on the wall and handled for god know how long. Both had scratches and scuffs. They offered another 10% off ok deal but where are the brake pads and skewers? Um stolen....no deal. Went to order online the next day and not available anymore. BOOOOOO
Oh and my wife say the sticker price of 1299 and asked me if that was for one or two wheels with utter concern
I told her SOME brands will get you only one wheel so I'm getting a deal getting both wheels hun

i have looked at but not bought anything. I’m terrible at cleaning bikes, or was, but I love the way this one looks clean.
