Wheel upgrade choice for CAAD13
My CAAD13 has Bontrager Affinity TLR wheels. I bought the bike used with only 20 miles on it but the previous owner swapped the stock Cannondale wheels to the Bontrager. They are not bad but very heavy (2150 grams) and the rear hub seems pretty tight compared to my Fulcrum 5's on my Ridley. My riding is mainly on a paved MUP ranging from 15-60 miles on average with not much elevation gain. I would keep the Bontragers for the trainer and also keeping the Ridley for winter rides. I plan on running 30 or 32 tubeless tires
I have 3 wheels on the short list on around the same price point.

I built a set of Light Bicycle. I'll take any suggestion on changes to the LB's
