Hi,
You will see from my other posts that I am new to all this i have a road bike and have read that the best upgrade is new wheels. I went to my local and trusted LBS looking at Mavic Kysrium or something like that he said he could build me better. I asked around and turns out he is a well trusted wheel builder. Anyway he is suggesting the following build for my road bike any comments. Hope Pro2 Hubs, Mavic Open Pro rims 32 hole, DT revolution spokes. I am a bit heavy at 14stone and he suggestes more spokes and seems to think that the trend towards less is a fashion thing.
