Ordered new 17's

mike_m · 09-13-2006, 08:34 PM

I am keeping my heavy aluminum wheels for the time being. I have ordered General Exclaim UHP's based on the recommendation from Bjorn. They are 6 lbs lighter than the Pirelli's I have now. I think it will make a big difference as the weight of the tire is the furthest out from the hub. I'll post when I get them mounted. Right now, with my 43 lb. set up, I am avg. 39-40. I really need to find another hobby!

I have fun and it gets my off the couch and away from the computer.
