Jeff - I agree with you but if he has a new bike, replacement wheels would be lower on the list than a good saddle, pedals and decent road shoes. Also, stick tires are often not so hot. This is just my opinion. Id also get a Garmin 500 before spending mine on new wheels. Get wheels as a reward for your first 2000 miles or so. That's what I would do. good luck.
I think Levi had a Retul fitting and posted about it somewhere on Audiocircle. A search would turn it up.
Didn't find it via search.Only saw Jackman post saying a friend did it and thought it was well worth it.George
I love blowing past you guys with the fancy gear ... So so satisfying.
I'm in a t shirt and board shorts, no helmet, clipped in with Shimano's. It's so fun, you have no idea.
I rode past a bike club yesterday, about 15 riders, must have been 20K-30K worth of equipment. I called out, "which one's Lance?"
Nope, just me. The only sound is WOOOOOOSH! For some reason the people who get maddest are geared-out women. They can't believe I have the audacity to rip them a new one on my beater.

I dont wear a helmet when I'm on the river trail. No need. Not a car or stoplight in site. For endless miles. Eyes up.In the city, oh yeah, helmet...thinking about joining a group, but no slow people please. And had to razz Jackman a bit.
Tybee, that IS impressive. And Jackman, you are welcome to come ride with me any time. We can talk about humility on the warmup.
