Has anyone upgraded the wheels on their team Carbon, if so what did you put on and/or what do you recommend?

    what's wrong with the Ritchey Pro wheels and how would another set feel different?

    unless you're going to spend a lot more I can't see how you'd even notice a difference

    Just heard the ritchey wheels that come with it arent that great, might try them out first to see how they feel?

    When I took mine into my LBS the bloke there said that they were decent wheels, and better than a lot of the Shimano range out there. It depends how much you're going to spend. They won't compare with a set of wheels that'll cost you upwards of £300 but below that, I'm not sure you'd see much difference.
    If you're worried about the spoke problem, it's been sorted and if you're not sure get the mechanic who prepares it for you to check them while you're there.
    If you're set on spending the money, I'd but something more useful, carbon seat post and stem for example.
