Yes, of course. The question is, will the 24/28 set up? That rim is lighter than the dura ace 32/32 and priced well ($320). I only ride 3 hours per week (I am a competitive bodybuilder) so this is fitness riding. However, I used to race and love to go as fast as a fat old man can. I also am a total weight weenie on a budget. Since I don't race anymore people say "weight shouldn't matter" but it does, and here is why: Lighter bikes are simply more fun. I go to bed looking forward to my ride the next day if it is a light snappy bike. My sons heavy hybrid bike gets from point A to B just fine....but I am riding it right now and it is more of a chore, something I "have" to do to stay in shape. My rides are getting shorter and shorter.
