How often do you find a decent 650c wheelset on sale for 50% off? Almost never. The Merlin's current wheels (deliciously light Rolfs) while awesome are about 6 years old now. Picked up these Mavic Ksyrium Elites at Performance. I think I'm one of 5 people out there who actually ride 650's so I'm sure Performance was just dying to get rid of them. I took the opportunity to put a 11-21 cassette on these - should team up quite nicely with my compact crank set.
Took them for a short ride today. People always say wheels can make a big difference on how a bike feels/ride. Felt the same to me. Perhaps I'm just not perceptive enough.
