Advantage of upgraded wheels?
Gang,

I bought a 2021 Salsa Warbird 600 about 4 weeks ago. Stock wheels are WTB ST Light i23 TCS - they weigh about 2,170 grams for the set, I understand.

I'm looking at a set of Zipp 303 S carbon wheels.

I ride at around 15-16 mph on mostly dirt roads. What advantages will a set of carbon wheels give me over the stock wheelset, other than reduced weight?

Thanks,

Gary
