The Habanero currently has a boat anchor rear wheel, it's actually the stock wheel that came with the Roubaix. I wanted to give it something better but it's too soon for the Reynolds Assaults.

I still have my Williams 38 carbon clincher rear wheel (the front got cracked by a rock although I still have it, that's what is poking into the saw picture), so I put that on along with newfangled Reynolds cryo-blue brake pads. It might be placebo effect, but a quick test ride around the block suggests it feels faster, and dry braking is fine.
